Background: Previously, we reported the isolation of C4-2 as a potential tumor suppressor gene in human brain tumors. To understand the function of this gene, we investigated its molecular characterization and expression during development. Methods: Human fetal brain library screening and 5ΠRACE-PCR

We present the entire sequence of the mouse Fat orthologue (mFat1), a protein of 4,588 amino acids with 34 cadherin repeats, 27 potential N-glycosylation sites, five EGF repeats and a laminin A G-motif in its extracellular domain. A single transmembrane region is followed by a cytoplasmic domain con
## Abstract ## Background We modified a tetracyclineβregulated system that can control the activity of individual genes quantitatively and reversibly in transgenic mammals. Despite these advances, there remained one problem in the intensive use of the tetβsystem: the limited range of acceptor cell
## Abstract RhoBTB2 was isolated recently as a tumor suppressor gene from human chromosome 8p21.3. Although RhoBTB2 was found to be frequently lost in breast cancer lines, expression status of RhoBTB2 in sporadic breast cancer tissues and its clinical and prognostic value, however, remain unclear.
## Abstract Homozygous deletions are instrumental in the detection and cloning of tumor suppressor genes. We report the isolation and characterization of 39 new singleβcopy probes saturating a submicroscopic homozygous deletion detected in the DNA of the small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell line U202
