Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Loss of cell polarity and tissue disorganisation are hallmarks of cancer. MYO5B mutations disrupt epithelial cell polarity, suggesting that MYO5B may be involved in tumorigenesis. METHODS: We analyzed MYO5B expression in 70 gastric cancer tissues by immunohistochemistry using a tissue microarray method. Two related proteins, Rab11a and TfR, were also investigated. RESULTS: We found that the negative...
