The Complexity of Being A20: From Biological Functions to Genetic Associations.

A20, encoded by TNFAIP3, is a critical negative regulator of immune activation. A20 is a ubiquitin editing enzyme with multiple domains, each of which mediates or stabilizes a key ubiquitin modification. A20 targets diverse proteins that are involved in pleiotropic immunologic pathways.

Morin inhibits colon cancer stem cells by inhibiting PUM1 expression in vitro.

Over the last few decades, the number of people diagnosed with cancer has increased dramatically every year, making it a major cause of mortality today. Colon cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, and the second in mortality rate. Current cancer treatment fails to treat colon cancer completely due to the remains of Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs).
