Stathmin expression and its relationship to microtubule‐associated protein tau and outcome in breast cancer
22 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) endogenously regulate microtubule stability. Here, the prognostic value of stathmin, a destabilizing protein, was assessed in combination with MAP-tau, a stabilizing protein, in order to evaluate microtubule stabilization as a potential biomarker. METHODS: Stathmin and MAP-tau expression levels were measured in a breast cancer cohort (n = 651) using the tissue...
