Facts about WW domain-containing oxidoreductase.
May function synergistically with p53/TP53 to restrain genotoxic stress-induced cell death. Plays a role in TGFB1 signaling and TGFB1-mediated cell death.

Widely expressed. Strongly expressed in testis, prostate, and ovary. Overexpressed in cancer cell lines. Isoform 5 and isoform 6 may only be expressed in tumor cell lines.
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Mitochondrion. Golgi apparatus. Partially localizes to the mitochondria (PubMed:14695174). Translocates to the nucleus upon genotoxic stress or TNF stimulation (By similarity). Translocates to the nucleus in response to TGFB1 (PubMed:19366691). Isoform 5 and isoform 6 may localize in the nucleus.
