WWP2 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase and plays an important role in regulation of many cellular biological activities through ubiquitination and degradation of its substrates. Recently accumulating evidences indicate that WWP2 plays a crucial part in the pathogenesis in different types of tumors. In this report, the role of this gene especially in tumorigenesis was reviewed. WWP2 is dysregulated in various of tumors, and it promotes carcinogenesis mainly through PTEN/Akt signaling pathway. WWP2 also participates in anti-cancer agents’ sensitivity, indicating WWP2 may be a novel target for cancer treatment. WWP2 is one promising novel oncogene.
