Abstract excerpt
Estrogen receptor (ER) expression and Her-2 amplification define specific subsets of breast tumors for which specific therapies exist. The S-phase kinase-associated protein Skp2 is required for the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of the cdk-inhibitor p27 and is a bona fide proto-oncoprotein. Using microarray analysis and immunohistochemistry, we determined that higher levels of Skp2 are present more frequently in...
