NCIt definition : Human LAPTM4B wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 8q22.1 and is approximately
146 kb in length. This allele, which encodes lysosomal-associated transmembrane protein
4B, may be involved in transport. Amplification of the gene may be associated with
hepatocellular carcinoma and both anthracycline resistance and metastatic recurrence
in breast cancer.;
NCIt note : Expression is analyzed as part of the 17-gene leukemia stem cell scoring system (LSC17).
