Abstract excerpt
The cell cycle checkpoint plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of cells. Recently, one of the 14-3-3 protein family members, 14-3-3sigma, was shown to be regulated by p53 and to play a role in the G2-M-phase checkpoint. To determine whether 14-3-3sigma is inactivated in human cancers, the methylation status of the 5' region of 14-3-3sigma was investigated in a series of gastric, colorectal, and...
