Abstract excerpt
Nearly all brain tumors develop following the progressive accumulation of genetic alterations of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes (such as p53 and retinoblastoma protein). Furthermore, aberrations in the nuclear matrix often contribute to genomic instabilities and the development of cancer. We have previously shown that nuclear-restricted protein/brain (NRP/B), a member of the BTB/Kelch repeat family, is a...
