Description
MZB1 (Marginal Zone B And B1 Cell Specific Protein, also known as MEDA-7 and pERp1) is a Protein Coding gene. MZB1 is a B-cell-specific and endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized protein implicated in antibody secretion and integrin-mediated cell adhesion. MZB1 is important for B cell function as a key regulator of antibody secretion, calcium homeostasis, and adhesion. MZB1 may play a central role in B cell neoplasms and is a potential target for future therapeutic interventions. Low MZB1 expression was an independent prognostic factor for recurrence after curative gastrectomy and was associated significantly with increased hematogenous recurrence. MZB1 acts as a suppressor of gastric cancer (GC). Low MZB1 expression in the primary GC tissue is predictive of recurrence after curative resection.
