LAPTM4B and neoplasm: Evidences from Maeda, et al. study suggest that the transcriptional product of this gene results in an active role in the progression of cell proliferation other than results from tumor genesis (Maeda et al. 2005) and LAPTM4B proteins play an influential role in occurrence, development, progression and prognosis of cancer cells (Zhou et al. 2008; Yang et al. 2010b; Li et al. 2010b; He et al. 2003; Yang et al. 2010a).
