Kindlin Proteins and Enzymes

Due to a concerted effort to identify biomarkers for lung and colon carcinomas by genome-wide transcriptional profiling, the identification and cloning of one such gene as well as two additional closely related genes was achieved. Due to the strong sequence homology to the C. elegans UNC-112 a novel gene gene was named URP1, for UNC-112 related protein. Another novel related gene, URP2 and the previously discovered MIG-2 gene was also identified. Transcriptional analysis shows that only URP1 ...
