basic FUNCTION
  • required for maintening cell proliferation (cell-cycle associated nuclear non histone protein)
  • low rather than high MKI67 protein expression is of prognostic importance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
  • key marker associated with aggressively proliferating cancer cells and poor prognosis
  • prevents chromosomes from collapsing into a single chromatin mass after nuclear envelope disassembly, thus enabling independent chromosome motility and efficient interactions with the mitotic spindle
  • acts as a biological surfactant to disperse mitotic chromosomes
  • MKI67, GNL2, and MDN1 play an important role in organizing the RNAmetasome network
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, proliferation/growth

    endothelial proliferation assessed on MKI67 combined with the lack of CD105 expression is often associated with invasive cervical carcinoma (

    Marker
  • stronger and more robust prognostic marker than mitotic count in nodular melanoma (
  • combined use of KRAS status and MKI67 expression level could be an excellent prognostic marker to predict the post-operative recurrence of stage I ADC (stage I lung adenocarcinomas)
