Cervical cancer

Disease ID:205
Name:Cervical cancer
Associated with:4 targets
Database Links
Disease Ontology: DOID:4362
OMIM: 603956

Targets

Kv10.1
Role:  EAG mRNA expression and channel activity detected in cervical carcinoma tissue
Comments:  EAG expression and channel activity have been suggested to be important in cell proliferation. EAG considered potential cervical cancer tumour marker / membrane therapeutic target. Inhibition by siRNA showed suppression of tumour cell proliferation and treatment with antibodies (in vitro and in vivo) has shown similar results. However ion permeation blocking mutations failed to abolish xenograft tumour formation.
