Sall4 is mammalian homologs of the Drosophila region-specific homeotic gene spalt, which encodes a zinc finger-containing transcription regulator. Drosophila spalt is an essential genetic component required for the specification of posterior head and anterior tail as opposed to trunk. Sall3 is expressed at 24 weeks of gestation in several regions of the human fetal brain including neurons of the hippocampus formation and of mediodorsal and ventrolateral thalamic nuclei, Purkinje cells of the

Expressed in testis and ovary and in a wide variety of cancers. Detected in uterine myometrium. Expressed from 18 weeks until birth in human fetal testis. In the adult testis, is strongly expressed in spermatogonia and in primary spermatocytes, but not in post-meiotic cells or in testicular somatic cells (at protein level).

Platelet receptor GI24, also known as SISP1 or PP2135, is a 311 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein that contains one Ig-like (immunoglobulin-like) domain. GI24 is thought to contribute to tumor-invasive growth in the collagen matrix and is encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 10q22.1. Chromosome 10 contains over 800 genes, 135 million nucleotides and comprises nearly 4.5% of the human genome. PTEN is an important tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 10 and, when

WNT2B is a member of the wingless-type MMTV integration site (WNT) family of highly conserved, secreted signaling factors. WNT family members function in a variety of developmental processes including regulation of cell growth and differentiation and are characterized by a WNT-core domain. This gene may play a role in human development as well as human carcinogenesis. This gene produces two alternative transcript variants.This gene encodes a member of the wingless-type MMTV integration site (

The Ser/Thr protein kinase encoded by this gene belongs to the CDC5/Polo subfamily. It is highly expressed during mitosis and elevated levels are found in many different types of cancer. Depletion of this protein in cancer cells dramatically inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis; hence, it is a target for cancer therapy. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

Delta-like 3 (DLL3) is a transmembrane Delta-like protein that inhibits primary neurogenesis. It may be required to divert neurons along a specific differentiation pathway and plays a role in the formation of somite boundaries during segmentation of the paraxial mesoderm. DLL3 is one of five DSL proteins that bind to the Notch receptor and activates Notch signaling.
