Description
Product Characteristics:
Estrogen-induced gene 121 protein may play a role as a marker of hyperestrogenic state and estrogen-related type I endometrial carcinoma. It belongs to the UPF0577 family.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: EIG121, UPF0577 protein KIAA1324, Estrogen-induced gene 121 protein, KIAA1324, UNQ2426/PRO4985
Target Information: Expression of this gene is induced by estrogen and the encoded protein has been characterized as a transmembrane protein. The encoded protein has been found in to correlate with survival in certain carcinomas (PMID: 21102415) and may be important for cellular response to stress (PMID: 21072319). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]
