Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a common cancer in South China, but is not usually found in other parts of the world. NPC is characterized by orofacial pain and altered nerve sensation as well as a tendency to metastasize. The NPC associated gene 6 (NGX6) is located at a chromosomal location with a high frequency of loss of heterozygosity (LOH). The NGX6 protein contains an epidermal growth factor-like domain and a cytoplasmic region, both of which play a role in modulating cell adhesion. The cytoplasmic domain also functions to regulate growth, proliferation and migration through its association with Ezrin and the ability of the NGX6 protein to downregulate Ezrin expression. NGX6 also inhibits transcriptional activation of ∫-catenin/TCF/LEF in the Wnt signaling pathway by negatively regulating the nuclear translocation of ∫-catenin.
