Ectopic expression of PTTG1/securin promotes tumorigenesis in human embryonic kidney cells.
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pituitary tumor transforming gene1 (PTTG1) is a novel oncogene that is expressed in most tumors. It encodes a protein that is primarily involved in the regulation of sister chromatid separation during cell division. The oncogenic potential of PTTG1 has been well characterized in the mouse, particularly mouse fibroblast (NIH3T3) cells, in which it induces cell proliferation, promotes tumor formation...
