== Discovery == Prohibitins are evolutionarily conserved genes that are ubiquitously expressed. The human prohibitin gene, located on the BRCA1 chromosome region 17q21, was originally thought to be a negative regulator of cell proliferation and a tumor suppressor. This anti-proliferative activity was later attributed to the 3' untranslated region of the PHB gene, and not to the actual protein. Mutations in human PHB have been linked to sporadic breast cancer. However, over-expression of PHB has been associated with a reduction in androgen receptor activity and a reduction in PSA gene expression resulting in a decrease of androgen-dependent growth of prostate cancer cells.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Dart DA, Spencer-Dene B, Gamble SC, Waxman J, Bevan CL | title = Manipulating prohibitin levels provides evidence for an in vivo role in androgen regulation of prostate tumours | journal = Endocrine-Related Cancer | volume = 16 | issue = 4 | pages = 1157–1169 | date = December 2009 | pmid = 19635783 | pmc = 2782800 | doi = 10.1677/ERC-09-0028 }}</ref> Prohibitin is expressed as two transcripts with varying lengths of 3' untranslated region. The longer transcript is present at higher levels in proliferating tissues and cells, suggesting that this longer 3' untranslated region may function as a trans-acting regulatory RNA.<ref name="entrez" />

== Function == Prohibitins may have multiple functions including:

=== Mitochondrial function and morphology === Prohibitins are assembled into a ring-like structure with 16–20 alternating Phb1 and Phb2 subunits in the inner mitochondrial membrane.<ref name="pmid15525670">{{cite journal | vauthors = Tatsuta T, Model K, Langer T | title = Formation of membrane-bound ring complexes by prohibitins in mitochondria | journal = Molecular Biology of the Cell | volume = 16 | issue = 1 | pages = 248–59 | date = Jan 2005 | pmid = 15525670 | pmc = 539169 | doi = 10.1091/mbc.E04-09-0807 }}</ref> The precise molecular function of the PHB complex is not clear, but a role as chaperone for respiratory chain proteins or as a general structuring scaffold required for optimal mitochondrial morphology and function are suspected. Recently, prohibitins have been demonstrated to be positive, rather than negative, regulators of cell proliferation in both plants and mice.

=== Transcriptional modulation === Both human prohibitins have also been suggested to be localized in the cell nucleus and modulate transcriptional activity by interacting with various transcription factors, including nuclear receptors, either directly or indirectly. However, little evidence for nuclear targeting and transcription factor-binding of prohibitins has been found in other organism (yeast, plants, C. elegans, etc.), indicating that this may be a specific function in mammalian cells.<ref name="pmid10359819">{{cite journal | vauthors = Montano MM, Ekena K, Delage-Mourroux R, Chang W, Martini P, Katzenellenbogen BS | title = An estrogen receptor-selective coregulator that potentiates the effectiveness of antiestrogens and represses the activity of estrogens | journal = Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America | volume = 96 | issue = 12 | pages = 6947–52 | date = Jun 1999 | pmid = 10359819 | pmc = 22022 | doi = 10.1073/pnas.96.12.6947 | bibcode = 1999PNAS...96.6947M | doi-access = free }}</ref><ref name="pmid16964284">{{cite journal | vauthors = Gamble SC, Chotai D, Odontiadis M, Dart DA, Brooke GN, Powell SM, Reebye V, Varela-Carver A, Kawano Y, Waxman J, Bevan CL | title = Prohibitin, a protein downregulated by androgens, represses androgen receptor activity | journal = Oncogene | volume = 26 | issue = 12 | pages = 1757–68 | date = Mar 2007 | pmid = 16964284 | doi = 10.1038/sj.onc.1209967 | s2cid = 9592990 }}</ref><ref name="pmid15140878">{{cite journal | vauthors = Kurtev V, Margueron R, Kroboth K, Ogris E, Cavailles V, Seiser C | title = Transcriptional regulation by the repressor of estrogen receptor activity via recruitment of histone deacetylases | journal = The Journal of Biological Chemistry | volume = 279 | issue = 23 | pages = 24834–43 | date = Jun 2004 | pmid = 15140878 | doi = 10.1074/jbc.M312300200 | doi-access = free }}</ref><ref name="pmid15713652">{{cite journal | vauthors = Park SE, Xu J, Frolova A, Liao L, O'Malley BW, Katzenellenbogen BS | title = Genetic deletion of the repressor of estrogen receptor activity (REA) enhances the response to estrogen in target tissues in vivo | journal = Molecular and Cellular Biology | volume = 25 | issue = 5 | pages = 1989–99 | date = Mar 2005 | pmid = 15713652 | pmc = 549370 | doi = 10.1128/MCB.25.5.1989-1999.2005 }}</ref>
