Solute exchange through gap junctions lessens the adverse effects of inactivating mutations in metabolite-handling genes
2022-03-16
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Experimental inactivation of certain genes involved in metabolism attenuates cancer cell growth in vitro . However, loss-of-function mutations in metabolic pathways are not negatively selected in human cancers, indicating that these genes are not essential in vivo . We hypothesize that spontaneous mutations affecting metabolic pathways do not necessarily result in a functional defect because a...
