Expression of Plakophilins (PKP1 PKP2 and PKP3) in Gastric Cancers

摘要

BackgroundThe importance of cell-cell junction proteins (including armadillo proteins) in tumor biology is known, but limited with regard to plakophilins. We explored the relationship between plakophilins (PKP1, PKP2, PKP3) to gastric cancer via immunohistochemical techniques.
