Disease relevance of MLPH

  • In breast tumor tissue specimens, expression of ln alpha 3 and beta 3 mRNAs tended to be reduced relative to levels observed in adjacent nontumor tissue, whereas in gamma 2 levels were elevated in specimens with increased amounts of myoepithelial cells [1].
  • The combination of Ida/Bu/Melph appears a promising alternative regimen for PBSCT in myeloma, with low transplant-related toxicity and fast hematological recovery [2].
 

High impact information on MLPH

 

Biological context of MLPH

 

Anatomical context of MLPH

 

Associations of MLPH with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of MLPH

  • Here, we show by reconstitution using purified proteins that Rab27a and Mlph are sufficient to form a transport complex with myosin Va in vitro [10].
 

Other interactions of MLPH

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of MLPH

  • In our study comparing Cy and TBI with Melph and TBI in AML, we have shown a significant increase in antileukemic activity after transplantation following the latter conditioning regimen [14].
  • In the single-arm ALL autograft study our results were very encouraging and suggest that Melph/TBI can produce disease-free survival results at least as good as with other conditioning regimens [14].
