basic FUNCTION
  • being mediator of internal cell motility
  • its expression in HCC is strongly correlated with the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) process, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) aggressiveness and the identification of cancer stem cells
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component component of the cytoskeleton
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein target of NKX 3.1 regulatory activity (activity in prostate epithelia is due, in part, to the androgen-dependent expression of NKX3.1)
