Mitochondrial enoyl coenzyme A hydratase 1 as marker for diagnosing stomach cancer

摘要

The present invention relates to mitochondrial protein that can be used as a marker for diagnosing stomach cancer. According to the present invention, the marker for diagnosing stomach cancer comprises mitochondrial enoyl coenzyme A hydratase 1.

主权项

1. A method of diagnosing stomach cancer in a mammal, comprising the steps of:
isolating a cell from the stomach of a mammal suspected of or at risk for having stomach cancer; measuring the amount of mitochondrial enoyl coenzyme A hydratase 1 from the cell; comparing the measured amount of the mitochondrial enoyl coenzyme A hydratase 1 from the isolated stomach cell to a measured amount of mitochondrial enoyl coenzyme A hydratase 1 from a normal cell, wherein the cell isolated from the stomach is a stomach cancer cell when the amount of mitochondrial enoyl coenzyme A hydratase 1 in the isolated cell is at least about nine times more than the amount of mitochondrial enoyl coenzyme A hydratase 1 in the normal cell.
