Loss of NBAT1 induces tumor cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and invasion through interaction with EZH2 and miR-21, or targeting ERK1/2- and AKT-mediated signaling pathway (Pandey et al., 2014; Hu et al., 2015; Yan et al., 2017; Yang et al., 2017). This evidence concerns the gene NBAT1 and neoplasm.
