Abstract
N-mycdown stream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) is a potential regulator of liver fibrosis. Enhanced NDRG2 expression inhibits hepatic stellate cell activation, promotes the degradation of extracellular matrix, and regulates the regeneration of the liver. In addition, NDRG2 contributes to an enhanced capacity of liver and other tissues to hypoxic stresses. This article reviews the relationship between NDRG2 expression and liver fibrosis.
