Genes in this latter group have been termed ‘endocytic tumor suppressor genes’ and include rab5, syntaxin-7/avalanche (syx7/avl), erupted/tumor susceptibility gene-101 (ept/tsg101 and referred to hereafter as ept), and vps25. Each of these genes is required at distinct steps in the trafficking proteins from the apical membrane to the lysosome. Here, LGI1 is linked to neoplasm.
