| DNA/RNA |
| Description | This gene, found on chromosome 10 at location 10p15 (5,444,518-5,490,401) encompasses 11832bp of genomic DNA. The gene has 10 exons and the mRNA transcript is 3414 nucleotides in length. |
| Protein |
| Description | The protein encoded by this gene acts as guanine nucleotide exchange factor (gef) for RhoA gtpase . This gene encodes for a protein of 596 amino acids with a molecular weight of 67.74 kDa. The protein contains the following domains : a Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor (RhoGEF) activity domain from amino acid 178 - 355 and a pleckstrin homology domain from amino acid 387 - 503. The 596 amino acid sequence is : 1 mepelaaqkq prprrrsrra sglstegatg psadtsgsel dgrcslrrgs sftfltpgpn 61 wdftlkrkrr ekdddvvsls sldlkepsnk rvrplarvts lanlispvrn gavrrfgqti 121 qsftlrgdhr spasaqkfss rstvptpakr rssalwseml ditmkesltt reirrqeaiy 181 emsrgeqdli edlklarkay hdpmlklsim seeelthifg dldsyiplhe dlltrigeat 241 kpdgtveqig hilvswlprl nayrgycsnq laakalldqk kqdprvqdfl qrclespfsr 301 kldlwsfldi prsrlvkypl llkeilkhtp kehpdvqlle dailiiqgvl sdinlkkges 361 ecqyyidkle yldekqrdpr ieaskvllch gelrsksghk lyiflfqdil vltrpvtrne 421 rhsyqvyrqp ipvqelvled lqdgdvrmgg sfrgafsnse kaknifrirf hdpspaqsht 481 lqandvfhkq qwfnciraai apfqsagspp elqglpelhe ecegnhpsar kltaqrrast 541 vssvtqvevd enayrcgsgm qmaedskslk thqtqpgirr ardkalsggk rketlv |

| Entity | Gastric Cancer |
| Disease | Gastric or stomach cancer is a malignant epithelial malignancy of the stomach mucosa. The vast majority of gastric carcinomas are adenocarcinomas, arising from the gastric glandular epithelium. |
| Prognosis | Prognosis depends on the stage of the cancer. Because most stomach cancers are at an advanced stage upon diagnosis, the average 5 years survival rate is 12%. This is often due to the fact that the tumor has spread beyond the primary site. |
| Oncogenesis | NET1 has been shown to be up-regulated in Gastric Cancer (Leyden J et al., 2006). NET1 is a GEF exchange factor for Rho GTPase proteins (Alberts AS et al., 1998) and is therefore implicated in Rho-mediated processes such as cytoskeletal organization and cell migration. NET1 has been shown to drive gastric tumor cell invasion (Leyden J et al., 2006). It is this aggressive phenotype of the disease that accounts for the dismal prognosis as the majority of gastric tumors are at an advanced stage upon diagnosis where they have spread beyond the primary site. |
