The human p8 (candidate of metastasis 1) gene maps to chromosome 16p11.2 and encodes a transcription factor that regulates pancreatic growth. p8 upregulates the glucagon gene promoter by recruiting the p300 cofactor to increase Pax2A and Pax2B activity and by binding the Pax2-interacting protein PTIP to suppress its inhibition. p8 is present at high levels in pancreatic acinar cells during the acute phase of pancreatitis in developing pancreas and during pancreatic regeneration. Acinar cells upregulate p8 mRNA in response to cellular pancreatitis-induced injury. In vitro studies suggest that p8 mRNA is induced in pancreatic and non-pancreatic cells in response to apoptotic stimuli.
