Results showed that ZFHX4 was overexpressed in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tumor compared to normal controls, and knockdown of ZFHX4 in vitro significantly inhibited cell migration and invasion. Mutations in ZFHX4 were strongly associated with poor prognosis and its down-regulation inhibits the progression of ESCC.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
