Expression of the E2F Family of Transcription Factors and Its Clinical Relevance in Ovarian Cancer

Abstract excerpt

The E2F family of transcription factors plays a pivotal role in the regulation of cellular proliferation. On the basis of sequence homology and function, eight distinct members of E2F transcription factors (E2F-1 to E2F-8) have been distinguished to date. The regulation of E2F transcription factors is closely associated with the function of the retinoblastoma family of tumor suppressors (RB pathway). In the last...
