RPS7 and tumor of salivary gland: 40, 41 RPS7 gene found on chromosome 2, codes a ribosomal protein belonging to S7E family, and LIMCH1 gene, found on chromosome 4, codes zinc ion-binding proteins.40, 41 With future studies, zinc ion-binding proteins and ribosomal proteins belonging to S7E family may be new target molecules for differing biological behavior of the salivary gland tumors in serum samples and/or fine needle aspiration biopsy results.
