multiple endocrine neoplasia/glutathione

Although the gene responsible for multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) has been identified, the function of its gene product, menin, is unknown. To examine the biological role of the MEN1 gene, we searched for associated proteins with a yeast two-hybrid system using the MEN1 cDNA fragment as

BACKGROUND Adrenocortical tumors occur as sporadic tumors, as part of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome, or as part of other hereditary disorders. MEN1 is a tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 11q13 that encodes a 610-amino acid protein called menin, and plays an

Gene silencing through promoter hypermethylation is a growing concept in the development of human cancers. In this study, we examined the contribution of aberrant methylation of promoter regions in methylation-prone tumor suppressors to the pathogenesis of vulvar cancer. Thirteen cell lines from 12

Ret is a receptor protein tyrosine kinase that has been implicated in the development of the enteric nervous, endocrine, and renal systems. Mutations associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia types 2A and 2B (MEN 2A and 2B) have been shown to activate the intrinsic kinase and transforming ability

The multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) gene seems to be a tumor suppressor that encodes a 610-amino acid protein termed menin and that plays an important role in the development of MEN1 syndrome. Recent reports indicate that heterozygous germline mutations of this gene are responsible for
