GSDMB (gasdermin B) is one of the four members of the GSDM family of proteins. The expression of this gene is driven by LTR-derived promoter and the cellular promoter. The LTR-derived promoter is active in most tissues with the exception of stomach. It is also active in multiple cancer cell lines. The cellular promoter is active in normal stomach cells. This gene is localized to human chromosome 17q12.
Synonyms: Anti-Gasdermin-B; Anti-Gasdermin-like protein
Storage: -20C
Application: GSDMB (gasdermin B) gene is expressed in gastric cancer (GC), and a study conducted shows that GSDMB-driven Herpes Simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSVtk) could control occult peritoneal dissemination of GC cells in mice. In MCF7 cells, GSDMB2 isoform promotes tumor progression, invasion and metastasis.
