title: Identification and characterization of CMTM4, a novel gene with inhibitory effects on HeLa cell growth through Inducing G2/M phase accumulation.
abstract: Human CMTM is a novel gene family consisting of CKLF and CMTM1-8. CMTM4 is the most conserved gene and has three RNA splicing forms designated as CMTM4-v1, -v2 and -v3, but in many types of tissue and cell lines, only CMTM4-v1 and -v2 could be detected. CMTM4-v2 is the full length cDNA product, which has been highly conserved during evolution. CMTM4-v1 and -v2 are broadly expressed in normal types of tissue. They are distributed on the cell membrane and across the cytoplasm in a speckled pattern. Overexpression of CMTM4-v1 and -v2 can inhibit HeLa cell growth via G2/M phase accumulation without inducing apoptosis. Therefore, CMTM4 might be an important gene involved in cell growth and cell cycle regulation.
