The Expression of rac1 Pseudogene in Human Tissues and in Human Brain Tumors
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have demonstrated that Rac is a regulator of cell morphology and growth. Rac1 gene appears to have involvement in tumorigenesis and metastatic potential. In our previous study of rac1 gene in 45 human brain tumors, rac1 pseudogene was found. The rac1 pseudogene is an intronless pseudogene and has a similarity of 86% with rac1 nucleotide sequence. The rac1 pseudogene contains 579...
