CMTM5 Lysates

CMTM5 (CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing protein 5) has at least six variants from alternative splicing, CMTM5-v1 being the predominant form. Research has revealed this is widely expressed in normal tissues, but commonly silenced or down-regulated in cancer cells as a result of promoter methylation. Studies have found that expression of CMTM5-v1 in tumor cells inhibited proliferation and migration, by inducing apoptosis. Therefore, CMTM5 has tumor suppressor activity.
