Biomarker: SPAG9

Histology type: endometrial carcinoma

Stage: early stage

Country: China

Region: Shandong

Followed up time :

Subgroup 1 name : positive in EC

Subgroup 1 number: 36

Subgroup 2 name: negative in EC

Subgroup 2 number: 14

Conclusion: SPAG9 is positively expressed in endometrial cancer, and with a high humoral immune response in patients. It may serve as a new type of endometrial cancer markers for early detection, diagnosis and treatment

Sample type : tissue

Sample method: reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry Western blot

Expression pattern : expression

Funtion Uniprot: The JNK-interacting protein (JIP) group of scaffold proteins selectively mediates JNK signaling by aggregating specific components of the MAPK cascade to form a functional JNK signaling module (PubMed:14743216). Regulates lysosomal positioning by acting as an adapter protein which links PIP4P1-positive lysosomes to the dynein-dynactin complex (PubMed:29146937). Assists PIKFYVE selective functionality in microtubule-based endosome-to-TGN trafficking (By similarity).
