basic FUNCTION
| estrogen-responsive gene inhibiting cell growth |
|
may be playing a role in endocrine-immune interactions in breast cancer |
|
inducing growth arrest and apoptosis on activated immune cells, mediated by a putative death receptor |
|
modulating surface expression of tumor-associated, normally cryptic O-linked glycan structures and contributing indirectly to the antigenicity of tumor cells |
|
acting as a ligand for a putative receptor on immune cells such as peripheral lymphocytes and natural killer cells |
|
may play important roles in epithelial ovarian cancer |
