Menin Missense Mutants Encoded by the MEN1 Gene that Are Targeted to the Proteasome: Restoration of Expression and Activity by CHIP siRNA
17 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: In multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) characterized by tumors of parathyroid, enteropancreas, and anterior pituitary, missense mutations in the MEN1 gene product, menin, occur in a subset of cases. The mutant proteins are degraded by the proteasome. However, whether their expression and activity can be restored is not known. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to functionally characterize a panel of 16...
