Solute carrier family 45 member 3 (SLC45A3), also known as prostate cancer-associated protein 6 or prostein, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC45A3 gene. [5] [6] [7]
SLC45A3 is expressed in a prostate-specific manner by normal tissues and at a significantly lower level in prostate tumor cell lines. Treatment of prostate cancer cell lines with androgens upregulates the expression of SLC45A3. [7]
There is evidence that the expression of SLC45A3 is regulated by the microRNA mir-126*. [8]
A fusion gene is a hybrid gene formed from two previously independent genes. It can occur as a result of translocation, interstitial deletion, or chromosomal inversion. Fusion genes have been found to be prevalent in all main types of human neoplasia. The identification of these fusion genes play a prominent role in being a diagnostic and prognostic marker.
Homeobox protein Nkx-3.1, also known as NKX3-1, NKX3, BAPX2, NKX3A and NKX3.1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NKX3-1 gene located on chromosome 8p. NKX3-1 is a prostatic tumor suppressor gene.
ERG is an oncogene. ERG is a member of the ETS family of transcription factors. The ERG gene encodes for a protein, also called ERG, that functions as a transcriptional regulator. Genes in the ETS family regulate embryonic development, cell proliferation, differentiation, angiogenesis, inflammation, and apoptosis.
Kallikrein-related peptidase 4 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the KLK4 gene.
Zinc finger homeobox protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZFHX3 gene.
Transmembrane protease, serine 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the TMPRSS2 gene.
Zinc transporter ZIP1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC39A1 gene.
ETS homologous factor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EHF gene. This gene encodes a protein that belongs to an ETS transcription factor subfamily characterized by epithelial-specific expression (ESEs). The encoded protein acts as a transcriptional repressor and may be associated with asthma susceptibility. This protein may be involved in epithelial differentiation and carcinogenesis.
Zinc transporter 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC30A4 gene.
Sodium/myo-inositol cotransporter is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC5A3 gene.
Endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment protein 2 (ERGIC2) is a gene located on human chromosome 12p11. It encodes a protein of 377 amino acid residues. ERGIC2 protein is also known as PTX1, CDA14 or Erv41.
Endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ERGIC3 gene. It has been reported to be regulated by micro RNAs and may be important in a cancer.
CUB and zona pellucida-like domain-containing protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CUZD1 gene.
Large neutral amino acids transporter small subunit 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC43A1 gene.
Zinc transporter 1 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the SLC30A1 gene.
Iroquois-class homeodomain protein IRX-5, also known as Iroquois homeobox protein 5, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IRX5 gene.
Forkhead box protein A1 (FOXA1), also known as hepatocyte nuclear factor 3-alpha (HNF-3A), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FOXA1 gene.
Prostate-specific transcript 1 , also known as PCGEM1, is a long non-coding RNA gene. In humans, it is located on chromosome 2q32. It is over-expressed in prostate cancer. In a study of prostate tumours from 88 men, levels of PCGEM1 were found to be higher in prostate cancer cells in African-American men than in Caucasian-American men. The mortality rate of prostate cancer is highest in African-American men.
ADP/ATP translocase 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC25A5 gene on the X chromosome.
Solute carrier family 39 member 12 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC39A12 gene.
