TPT1 is over-expressed in cancers and, although the mechanism is not fully elucidated, its protein product is believed to function as an antiapoptotic factor controlled by mTORC1 (Amson et al. 2013; Chen et al. 2013; Acunzo et al. 2014; Bommer et al. 2015; Thébault et al. 2016). Here, TPT1 is linked to cancer.
