Abstract excerpt
The human gene CC3 is a metastasis suppressor for small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) in vivo. The ability of CC3 to impair the apoptotic resistance of tumor cells is likely to contribute to metastasis suppression. We describe here an alternatively spliced RNA of CC3, designated TC3, that encodes an unstable protein with antiapoptotic activity. TC3 and CC3 proteins share amino-terminal sequences, but TC3 has a...
