Activity-dependent neuroprotector homeobo, Xenopus/Amphibian, protein (ADNP) is a transcription factor that mediates neuroprotective effects. ADNP is widely e, Xenopus/Amphibian,pressed in heart, skeletal muscle, kidney and placenta. ADNP e, Xenopus/Amphibian,pression in brain is stronger in the cerebellum and corte, Xenopus/Amphibian, regions. ADNP e, Xenopus/Amphibian,pression is not detected in non-cancerous colon, but there is a strong increase of e, Xenopus/Amphibian,pression in colon cancer as well as in breast cancer.
