Abstract excerpt
Maspin is a tumor suppressor protein that stimulates apoptosis and inhibits motility, invasion and cancer metastasis. We report on a previously uncharacterized Pro/Ser (C to T) polymorphism at amino acid 176 of the human maspin protein. We analyzed the maspin mutation in 17 cancer cell lines and 36 cancer tissues. Association of polymorphic variants on apoptosis, colony formation and in vivo tumor formation was...
