Nevertheless, TMEM97 is reported to be upregulated in cancer cell lines and tumors including esophageal, gastric, colorectal, breast, ovarian surface epithelium (suggesting a role in ovarian cancer), oral squamous, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (reviewed in Kayed et al., 2004; Wilcox et al., 2007; Schmit and Michiels, 2018). The gene discussed is TMEM97; the disease is ovarian carcinoma.
