Increased expression of pituitary tumor-transforming gene (PTTG)-1 is correlated with poor prognosis in glioma patients
1 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
Pituitary tumor-transforming gene (PTTG), which is homologous to a mammalian securin, plays a pivotal role in cell transformation and is overexpressed in numerous cancer cell lines and tissues. PTTG functions in the control of mitosis, cell transformation, DNA repair and gene regulation. In the present study, we investigated whether the expression of PTTG1 is correlated with tumorigenicity and prognosis in glioma...
