“…This protein plays a role in ammonia and glutamate detoxification, acid-base homeostasis, cell signaling, and cell proliferation [Zhou et al, 2010]. The expression of GLUL was related to cell proliferation in the liver [Wu, 1984], intestinal epithelium [DeMarco et al, 1999], epiretinal membrane [Kase et al, 2006], and skin [Vermeulen et al, 2008;Choi et al, 2013]. GLUL was up-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma [Christa et al, 1994;Di Tommaso et al, 2009;Long et al, 2010;Hale et al, 2016], glioblastoma [Rosati et al, 2013;Tardito et al, 2015], prostate cancer [Shi et al, 2014], and may be a novel marker for diagnosis.…”
