Stomatin-like Protein 2 Is Overexpressed in Cancer and Involved in Regulating Cell Growth and Cell Adhesion in Human Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Abstract

SLP-2 was first identified as a novel cancer-related gene overexpressed in human ESCC, lung cancer, laryngeal cancer, and endometrial adenocarcinoma. Decreased cell growth, cell adhesion, and tumorigenesis in the antisense transfectants revealed that SLP-2 may be important in tumorigenesis.
