Abstract:
Transformation growth factor β -inducible gene 22 (TSC-22) is a putative negative growth regulation and tumor suppressor gene. It has the ability to combine with other transcription factors to regulate the cell growth and apoptosis. TSC-22 is lowly expressed in many types of tumors,which may be related to the tumorgenesis and development.
