Background:
Platelet receptor GI24, also known as SISP1 or PP2135, is a 311 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein that contains one Ig-like (immunoglobulin-like) domain. GI24 is thought to contribute to tumor-invasive growth in the collagen matrix and is encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 10q22.1. Chromosome 10 contains over 800 genes, 135 million nucleotides and comprises nearly 4.5% of the human genome. PTEN is an important tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 10 and, when defective, causes a genetic predisposition to cancer development known as Cowden syndrome. The chromosome 10 encoded gene ERCC6 is important for DNA repair and is linked to Cockayne syndrome which is characterized by extreme photosensitivity and premature aging. Tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency and a number of syndromes involving defective skull and facial bone fusion are also linked to chromosome 10. As with most trisomies, trisomy 10 is rare and is deleterious.
