Abstract excerpt
Translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP), is a highly conserved protein involved in fundamental processes, such as cell proliferation and growth, tumorigenesis, apoptosis, pluripotency, and cell cycle regulation. TCTP also inhibits Na,K-ATPase whose subunits have been suggested as a marker of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a crucial step during tumor invasiveness, metastasis and fibrosis. We...
