Abstract:Introduction: NEDD4 (neural precursor cell-expressed developmentally down-regulated 4), a member of the HECT (homologous to E6AP C-terminus) family of E3 ubiquitin ligases, has been shown to be an important regulator of multiple proteins involved in cancer development, including the tumor suppressor PTEN and the proto-oncogene MDM2. Furthermore, NEDD4 has been shown to be overexpressed and act as an oncogene in multiple cancer types. We have previously shown that NEDD4 is overexpressed in colorectal cancer (CR… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
