Expression of Gp78 is highly upregulated in bladder carcinoma tissues (Silletti et al., 1993); whereas, in patients with colorectal cancer, immunohistochemical analysis proposed that patients with higher expression of Gp78 have less survival and high risk of cancer recurrence (Nakamori et al., 1994). This evidence concerns the gene AMFR and urinary bladder carcinoma.
