Abstract excerpt
There is mounting evidence that evasion of apoptosis is a hallmark of cancer. Caspase-2, which plays roles in both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptosis pathways, is considered a candidate tumor suppressor. The aim of this study was to explore the possibility that genetic alterations of caspase-2 gene are present in human cancers. In this study, we analyzed the entire coding sequences of human caspase-2 gene for the...
