octanoic acid/breast neoplasms

Steroidal antiestrogens appear to have at least two major modes of action in breast cancer cells, direct antagonism of estrogen binding to its receptor and depletion of estrogen receptors (ER) due to inhibition of dimerization of the receptor and a resultant destabilization of the receptor protein.

Human ATP-binding cassette G2 (ABCG2, also known as mitoxantrone resistance protein, breast cancer-resistance protein, ABC placenta) is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters that have a wide variety of substrates. Overexpression of human ABCG2 in model cancer cell

Mammary tissue-restricted cytochrome P450 4Z1 (CYP4Z1) has garnered interest for its potential role in breast cancer progression. CYP4Z1-dependent metabolism of arachidonic acid preferentially generates 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (14,15-EET), a metabolite known to influence cellular
