DEC1
Deleted in esophageal cancer 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DEC1 gene.Function
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.
