SPDEF - SAM pointed domain containing ETS transcription factor Gene
Also Known as PDEF; bA375E1.3
Species: Homo sapiens
About SPDEF
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 245 orthologues and 28 paralogues. Biased expression in prostate (RPKM 50.1), salivary gland (RPKM 10.8) and 5 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ETS family of transcription factors. It is highly expressed in the prostate epithelial cells, and functions as an androgen-independent transactivator of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) promoter. Higher expression of this protein has also been reported in brain, breast, lung and ovarian tumors, compared to the corresponding normal tissues, and it shows better tumor-association than Other cancer-associated molecules, making it a more suitable target for developing specific Cancer therapies. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
