In addition to genes well established in the process of EMT, we also identified genes that had only been described in EMT in a subset of cancer types, including two epithelial specific genes, lipolysis stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) and S100 calcium binding protein A14 (S100A14), and one mesenchymal specific gene, dihydropyrimidinase-like 3 (DPYSL3). This evidence concerns the gene DPYSL3 and cancer.
