Role of Zinc-α2-glycoprotein in tumors
Kotvalová, Hanka ; Šmahel, Michal (advisor) ; Kubů, Martin (referee)
The Zinc-α2-glycoprotein (ZAG) encoded by the AZGP1 gene particularly contributes to the regulation of lipid and glucose metabolism. In different types of tumors, its altered production was found and the association of the ZAG level with the patient's prognosis was suggested. However, the role of ZAG in tumor progression can differ in individual malignancy types and mechanisms of ZAG function are not sufficiently identified. The objectives of the bachelor's thesis are a description of the structure of the ZAG protein and the regulation of AZGP1 expression, a summary of the identified ZAG functions in nonmalignant diseases, and a focus on the role of ZAG in tumors, particularly on the mechanisms of its action and its potential use as a biomarker.
