“…Later functional studies with purified proteins confirmed that TMT1B’s methyltransferase activity is SAM-dependent ( 13 , 16 , 17 ), while microscopy studies with cultured cells refined its subcellular localisation to the perinuclear face of the ER ( 13 , 17 , 18 ), and the surface of lipid droplets (LD) ( 18 , 19 ), rather than the Golgi body ( 18 , 20 ). Differential expression of TMT1B has been found to occur within several cancer types ( 4 ), including gliomas ( 21 – 25 ), non-small cell lung cancer ( 16 , 23 , 26 – 29 ), and acute myeloid leukemia ( 30 , 31 ). TMT1B has been proposed as a biomarker for many of these cancers since its increased transcription and protein abundance is frequently correlated with an advanced TNM (Tumour, Node, Metastasis) stage of tumour development and poor patient overall survival ( 21 – 27 , 29 , 31 – 36 ), risk of recurrence ( 35 ) and drug resistance ( 16 , 37 ).…”
