Cat No.
NATE-0462
Description
MTAP expression is crucial for the catabolism of methylthioadenosine, which is a by-product of polyamine biosynthesis in the methionine salvage pathway. Protein expression is decreased by homozygous deletion and promoter hypermethylation.

Applications
S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine phosphorylase human (MTAP) is an enzyme used in cancer research that is deficient in many types of cancer. Decreased MTAP expression may be used as a potential indicator of disease progression of gastrointestinal stromal tumors. MTAP may be a used to develop potential therapeutic strategies for hepat ocellular carcinoma (HCC) since MTAP inactivation has been linked to HCC development and invasiveness
