diagnostics | overexpression of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase correlates with poor prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma and contributes to metastasis through regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition | Homo sapiens |
medicine | enzyme expression is significantly increased in lung adenocarcinoma tissues compared to that in adjacent normal tissues. Overexpression of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase is correlated with large tumours, high TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis in patients | Homo sapiens |

General Information | Comment | Organism |

malfunction | knockdown of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase inhibits the migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma cells, but does not affect cell proliferation and apoptosis. Geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase inhibition significantly increases the expression of E-cadherin and reduces the expression of N-cadherin and vimentin in lung adenocarcinoma cells. In addition, the Rac1/Cdc42 geranylgeranylation is reduced by geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase knockdown | Homo sapiens |
