Previous studies have shown that the expression of the cell-cell adhesion molecule (C-CAM1), located at chromosome 19, is down-regulated in several types of human cancers, including prostate and breast cancers. Two major isoforms of C-CAM1, the long or L-form C-CAM1 and the short or S-form C-CAM1, are derived from the C-CAM1 gene through alternative splicing. Tumor cells transfected with L-form C-CAM1, which contains a cytoplasmic domain, display significantly lower growth rates and less… CONTINUE READING
