A Complex of EpCAM, Claudin-7, CD44 Variant Isoforms, and Tetraspanins Promotes Colorectal Cancer Progression
1 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
High expression of EpCAM and the tetraspanin CO-029 has been associated with colorectal cancer progression. However, opposing results have been reported on CD44 variant isoform v6 (CD44v6) expression. We recently noted in rat gastrointestinal tumors that EpCAM, claudin-7, CO-029, and CD44v6 were frequently coexpressed and could form a complex. This finding suggested the possibly that the complex, rather than the...
