Abstract 1116: Neurotensin high affinity receptor 1 is a functional biomarker for lung and breast cancer progression

Abstract: Neurotensin (NTS) is a 13 amino acid peptide, exerting hormonal and neurocrine regulation within the gastrointestinal tract to globally facilitate nutriment digestion. NTS action is mainly mediated by the high affinity G protein coupled neurotensin receptor, NTSR1. Abnormal expression of NTSR1 occurs during the early stages of cell transformation in relation with the deregulation of the Wnt/beta catenin pathway. Consequently, the oncogenic effects previously described for NTS in different types of cancer cells… Show more
