HSPA9 and colonic neoplasm: Although no significant homology between creatine kinase M-type and E. granulosus proteins was found, interestingly, colon cancer cells (CT26) mortalin showed 60% homology with E. granulosus HSP-70 potentially justifying the anti-cancer properties of E. granulosus in a mouse model of colorectal cancer [100, 109].
