SCP1 down-regulation induces neurogenensis, and miR-124 contributes to this process in part by targeting it (Visvanathan et al., 2007).miR-124 controls self-renewal and tumorigenic competence of human glioblastoma cells by targeting SCP1 and PTPN12 phosphatases (Lee et al., 2013). Here, CTDSP1 is linked to glioblastoma.
