    basic FUNCTION
  • putative prostate cancer tumor supressor
  • catalyzes the transfer of an oligosaccharide chain on nascent proteins, the key step of N-glycosylation
  • STK11, TP53, TUSC3 might play a role in the development of metastasis in larynx and pharynx squamous cell carcinomas (
  • MAGT1 and TUSC3 are indispensable members of the vertebrate plasma membrane Mg(2+) transport system
  • required for cellular Mg2+ uptake )
  • play a central role in vertebrate embryonic development that cannot be compensated by other putative Mg2+ transporters
  • role for N-glycosylating events in ovarian cancer pathogenesis and TUSC3 is a tumor suppressor gene in ovarian cancer in particular
  • functions in final steps of N-glycosylation of proteins, while its loss evokes the unfolded protein response
  • possible role of TUSC3 beyond endoplasmic reticulum
  • may act as an oncogene in the progression of colorectal cancer

    Marker
  • has potential to be used as prognostic markers in Colorectal Cancer
  • could be used as an independent predictor of prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma patients
  • decreased immunological TUSC3 staining is a factor prognostic of poor survival in pancreatic cancer patients and decreased TUSC3 promotes pancreatic cancer cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis
