Description
Product Characteristics:
PRUNE, the human homologue of the Drosophila gene, is located in 1q21.3, a region highly amplified in human sarcomas, malignant tumours of mesenchymal origin. Human prune (h-prune), a phosphoesterase DHH family appertaining protein, physically interacts with nm23-H1, a metastasis suppressor gene. h-prune is involved in cellular motility and metastasis formation. Metastatic breast cancers were found to overexpress h-prune, h-prune was also found to be highly expressed in colorectal and pancreatic cancers. Hence h-prune is considered useful as a marker for tumor aggressiveness.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Nucleus, Cell membrane
Synonyms: DRES17, Drosophila-related expressed sequence 17, hprune, HTCD37, Prune homolog, PRUNE like protein, TcD37 homolog, PRUNE_HUMAN.
Target Information: Phosphodiesterase (PDE) that has higher activity toward cAMP than cGMP, as substrate. Plays a role in cell proliferation, is able to induce cell motility and acts as a negative regulator of NME1 (By similarity)
