Prostate Specific Gene, PCGEM1, and Methods of Using PCGEM1 to Detect, Treat, and Prevent Prostate Cancer

摘要

A nucleic acid sequence that exhibits prostate-specific expression and over-expression in tumor cells is disclosed. The sequence and fragments thereof are useful for detecting, diagnosing, preventing, and treating prostate cancer and other prostate related diseases. The sequence is also useful for measuring hormone responsiveness of prostate cancer cells.
