NCIt definition : Human MPP1 wild-type allele is located within Xq28 and is approximately 27 kb in length.
This allele, which encodes 55 kDa erythrocyte membrane protein, is involved in coupling
the cytoskeleton to the erythrocyte cell membrane and plays a putative role in signal
transduction.;
NCIt note : The MPP1 gene is overexpressed in lung adenocarcinomas carrying mutations in the LKB1
tumor suppressor gene. MPP1 is a candidate gene for cross-resistance against DNA-damaging
chemotherapeutic drugs.;
