LZTR1 (Leucine-zipper-like transcriptional regulator 1) is a gene whose normal job is to hold cell growth in check. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver, a tumour suppressor and a biomarker, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response. Tied to Hepatocellular carcinoma, Prostate cancer, Endometrial cancer and 5 more. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Substrate-specific adapter of a BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex that mediates ubiquitination of Ras GTPases (M-Ras/MRAS, K-Ras/KRAS, N-Ras/NRAS and H-Ras/HRAS) and Ras-like protein RIT1. Acts as a negative regulator of RAS-MAPK signalling by controlling Ras levels and decreasing Ras association with membranes. Location: Endomembrane system; Recycling endosome; Golgi apparatus (UniProt). Locus 22q11.21 (HGNC).
