DOC1 (Down-regulated in Ovarian Cancer-1), also known as Filamin A-interacting protein 1-like and GPBP-interacting protein, is a 1135 amino acid protein that was originally cloned from normal ovarian epithelial cell lines, but was consistently found to be absent in ovarian cancer cell lines. Knockdown of DOC1 mRNA results in suppression of the EMAP II-stimulated gene expression of DOC1 as well as four other genes, suggesting that DOC1 may mediate the effect of EMAP II. The gene encoding DOC1 is upregulated in endothelial cells treated with angiogenesis inhibitors, which alludes to its potential benefit as a antivascular reagent for cancer therapy. There are five isoforms of DOC1 that exist as a result of alternative splicing events. |
