NMU and neoplasm: Some studies have reported that the NMU protein is also involved in the metabolic process of tumor cells.41 Similar to NMU, CAV1 participates in the energy metabolism and growth and development of tumor cells through metabolic pathways.42 TBX3 is a transcription inhibitor that regulates growth and development and is involved in the growth and division of tumor cells.43 FBLN1 is related to cell senescence.
