This gene encodes a tumor suppressor protein that is
ubiquitously expressed in normal tissues. In uveal melanomas,
expression of this protein is silenced in rapidly metastasizing and
metastatic tumor cells but has normal expression in slowly
metastasizing or nonmetastasizing tumor cells. This protein may
have a role in cell-cycle control by interacting with the
Cdk1/cyclinB1 complex. This gene is located on chromosomal region
8p22. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in the 8p arm is a common
characteristic of many types of cancer.1) Olson, J.E., et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. (2010) In press :
