KIF1Bβ Functions as a Haploinsufficient Tumor Suppressor Gene Mapped to Chromosome 1p36.2 by Inducing Apoptotic Cell Death
10 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Deletion of the distal region of chromosome 1 frequently occurs in a variety of human cancers, including aggressive neuroblastoma. Previously, we have identified a 500-kb homozygously deleted region at chromosome 1p36.2 harboring at least six genes in a neuroblastoma-derived cell line NB1/C201. Among them, only KIF1Bbeta, a member of the kinesin superfamily proteins, induced apoptotic cell death. These results...
