| pubmed-article:19466912 | pubmed:abstractText | Epithelial membrane protein 3 (EMP3), was recently reported to be a tumor suppressor gene for several solid tumors, and is drawing attention as a novel prognostic marker, since its expression level or hypermethylation of the promoter region is associated with clinical prognosis in neuroblastoma and esophageal cancer. However, some controversial data were also observed in gliomas and breast cancers, and there seems to be more than deletion/hypermethylation to its silencing mechanisms. | lld:pubmed |
