HERV-K(HML-2) rec and np9 transcripts not restricted to disease but present in many normal human tissues
4 Mar 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human endogenous retroviruses of the HERV-K(HML-2) group have been associated with the development of tumor diseases. Various HERV-K(HML-2) loci encode retrovirus-like proteins, and expression of such proteins is upregulated in certain tumor types. HERV-K(HML-2)-encoded Rec and Np9 proteins interact with functionally important cellular proteins and may contribute to tumor development. Though, the...
