CUTL1又称CDP,Cut,Cux,属于同源框异型盒转录因子家族,参与细胞的生长、分化和发育,并参与许多细胞基因的转录调节。CUTL1在髓性增生性疾病,卵巢肿瘤中存在杂和性缺失,在子宫平滑肌瘤,胰腺癌和乳腺癌中表达有增高。CUTL1为TGFβ信号转导通路的一个靶标,介导TGFβ的促迁移活性并在促进细胞运动和肿瘤细胞侵袭性生长方面发挥重要作用。
CUTL1 ,also known as CDP,Cut or Cux, is a homeodomain transcriptional regulator known to be involved in development, cell cycle progression and transcriptional regulation of multiple genes. Loss of heterozygosity of CUTL1 were found in myeloid disorders and ovary tumor. The expression levels of CUTL1 in uterine leiomyoma, pancreatic cancer and mammary tumor were elevated. CUTL1 is a transcriptional target of transforming growth factor beta, plays an important role in its mobility-promoting action and may be a key mediator of its promigratory effects.
