EPB41L3 Products

Band 4.1-like protein 3 (EPB41L3) is a critical growth regulator in the pathogenesis of meningiomas. EPB41L3 is highly Expressed in the brain, with lower levels found in the kidneys, intestines, and testis.

EPB41L3 is a member of a family of similar proteins whose expression is frequently lost in a variety of human tumors, including meningiomas, non-small-cell lung cancers, and breast carcinomas. It is also frequently down-regulated in human clinical prostate cancer. Studies have shown that Protein 4.1B normally triggers death in metastatic cells, thereby preventing cancer from spreading. A clinical test for Protein 4.1B activity could be useful in assessing the metastatic potential of prostate cancers. Therefore, EPB41L3 antibodies may be very useful for cancer research.
