Research Abstract |
Monad, a newly discovered protein, promotes apoptosis induced by anti-tumor agents. Monad exists as protein complex with RPAP3, PIH1D1, Reptin, and Pontin, similarly to that in yeast. In addition, cell survival or death is revealed to be regulated by the balance of these components. These results are useful for the treatment of oral tumors by predicting and potentiating the efficiency of anti-tumor agents.
