Anti-TERE1 (34031-100ug)

A ubiquitously expressed gene designated TERE1 (Transitional Epithelial Response Gene 1), which maps to chromosome 1p36.11-1p36.33, has a significant effect on growth regulation of bladder cancer and may play an equally significant role in growth regulation of prostate cancer. The TERE1 gene is located between the micro- satellite markers D1S2667 and D1S434, a chromosome locus that has been identified as a site of a tumor suppressor gene or genes for multiple tumor types. Induced TERE1 expression in two prostate carcinoma cell lines, LNCaP and PC-3, decreased proliferation up to 80% with a significant increase in the number of cells in G1. The TERE1 transcript is present in most normal human tissues, but is reduced or absent in the majority of muscle invasive TCC (Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the bladder) tumors.
