Background
RERG, a member of the RAS superfamily of GTPases, inhibits cell proliferation and tumor formation (Finlin et al., 2001 [PubMed 11533059]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2009],
Function
disease:Loss of RERG expression may contribute to tumorigenesis in breast. RERG expression is decreased or lost in a significant proportion of primary breast tumors with poor clinical prognosis. High expression of RERG correlates with long relapse-free survival times.,function:Binds GDP/GTP and possesses intrinsic GTPase activity. Has higher affinity for GDP than for GTP. In cell lines overexpression leads to a reduction in the rate of proliferation, colony formation and in tumorigenic potential.,induction:Up-regulated by estradiol. Down-regulated by tamoxifen.,similarity:Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Ras family.,tissue specificity:Detected in heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skin, kidney and pancreas. Detected in estrogen receptor-positive breast-derived cell lines, but not in estrogen receptor-negative cell lines.,
