Epigenetic silencing of Na,K-ATPase β<sub>1</sub>subunit gene<i>ATP1B1</i>by methylation in clear cell renal cell carcinoma
22 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
The Na,K-ATPase or sodium pump carries out the coupled extrusion of Na(+) and uptake of K(+) across the plasma membranes of cells of most higher eukaryotes. We have shown earlier that Na,K-ATPase-β 1 (NaK-β) protein levels are highly reduced in poorly differentiated kidney carcinoma cells in culture and in patients' tumor samples. The mechanism(s) regulating the expression of NaK-β in tumor tissues has yet to be...
