Mortalin Expression in Normal and Neoplastic Tissues

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the distribution of mortalin in different normal tissues and tumour types highlighting its role in neoplasia. Correlating mortalin expression with tumour grade and stage and its influence on cancer metastasis will also be reviewed along with the emerging role mortalin has as a clinically relevant therapeutic target and prognostic marker.
