Gene:
tumor suppressor candidate 1
Gene ID:
205698
Symbol:
TUSC1
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene is located within the region of chromosome 9p that harbors tumor suppressor genes critical in carcinogenesis. It is an intronless gene which is downregulated in non-small-cell lung cancer and small-cell lung cancer cell lines, suggesting that it may play a role in lung tumorigenesis.
