<i>KAI1</i> , a Metastasis Suppressor Gene for Prostate Cancer on Human Chromosome 11p11.2
12 May 1995
Abstract excerpt
A gene from human chromosome 11p11.2 was isolated and was shown to suppress metastasis when introduced into rat AT6.1 prostate cancer cells. Expression of this gene, designated KAI1, was reduced in human cell lines derived from metastatic prostate tumors. KAI1 specifies a protein of 267 amino acids, with four hydrophobic and presumably transmembrane domains and one large extracellular hydrophilic domain with...
