DEC1
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
01Function
The function of this gene is not known. This gene is located in a region commonly deleted in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas. Gene expression is reduced or absent in these carcinomas, associated with lymph node metastasis, and thus this is a candidate tumor suppressor gene for esophageal squamous cell carcinomas.
