Expression of FTL and FTH genes encoding ferritin subunits in lung and renal carcinomas
1 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
The level of ferritin in serum is known to be increased frequently in most human cancers. Ferritin consists of the heavy and light chains, encoded by FTL and FTH genes. The analysis of the EST database showed that the level of FTL and FTH mRNA is decreased in lung squamous cell carcinomas as compared to the normal tissues, no change in the mRNA level was observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Using...
