The multifunctional role of EMP3 in the regulation of membrane receptors associated with IDH-wild-type glioblastoma
Epithelial membrane protein 3 (EMP3) is a tetraspan membrane protein overexpressed in isocitrate dehydrogenase-wild-type (IDH-wt) glioblastoma (GBM). Several studies reported high EMP3 levels as a poor prognostic factor in GBM patients. Experimental findings based on glioma and non-glioma models hav...

| Zusammenfassung: | Epithelial membrane protein 3 (EMP3) is a tetraspan membrane protein overexpressed in isocitrate dehydrogenase-wild-type (IDH-wt) glioblastoma (GBM). Several studies reported high EMP3 levels as a poor prognostic factor in GBM patients. Experimental findings based on glioma and non-glioma models have demonstrated the role of EMP3 in the regulation of several membrane proteins known to drive IDH-wt GBM. In this review, we summarize what is currently known about EMP3 biology. We discuss the regulatory effects that EMP3 exerts on a variety of oncogenic receptors and discuss how these mechanisms may relate to IDH-wt GBM. Lastly, we enumerate the open questions towards EMP3 function in IDH-wt GBM. |
