Mutations in the promoter reveal a cause for the reduced expression of the human manganese superoxide dismutase gene in cancer cells.

Abstract excerpt

Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) has been shown to play an important role in preventing the development of cancer. MnSOD activity is reduced in many transformed cells and tumor tissues. We previously showed that the reduced level of MnSOD activity in cancer cells was not due to a defect in the primary structure of MnSOD protein, but rather was due to defects in gene expression. To elucidate the cause for...
