TAT

Transaminase involved in tyrosine breakdown. Converts tyrosine to p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate. Pro-apoptotic effect through the mitochondrial pathway

Metabolism and carbon metabolism pathways in Mitochondria

Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), small cell carcinoma

[41]

BIRC5

Dual roles in promoting cell proliferation and preventing apoptosis. Essential for chromosome alignment and segregation during mitosis and cytokinesis. Participates in the organization of the center spindle by associating with polymerized microtubules.

Apoptosis, cell cycle, Immune system modulation

Breast, prostate, bladder, lung, colorectal, ovarian, cervical cancer and others

[42]

PHYHD1

Alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase activity

Peroxisomal phytanic acid alpha-oxidation pathway

Prostate cancer

[43]

SEC14L2

Carrier protein. May have a transcriptional activator activity via its association with alpha-tocopherol. May regulate cholesterol biosynthesis.

Transcription

Breast and prostate cancer

[44–46]

TK1

Catalyzes the addition of a gamma-phosphate group to thymidine. Biosyntehsis of dTTP, required for DNA replication.

Cell Cycle, Mitotic and Metabolism

Breast and prostate cancer

[30]

ZNF385B

Role in p53/TP53-mediated apoptosis.

Apoptotis

Breast and ovarian cancer

[35]

CLIC6

May insert into membranes and form chloride ion channels. May play a critical role in water-secreting cells, possibly through the regulation of chloride ion transport

Activation of cAMP-Dependent PKA, Hepatic ABC Transporters

Breast cancer

[47]

TCIM

Involved in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. Involved in the regulation of heat shock response. Plays a role in the regulation of hematopoiesis even if the mechanisms are unknown (By similarity).

Apoptosis

Thyroid, breast, gastric, liver and lung cancer

[43, 48, 49]

ELOVL1

Fatty acids elongation

Metabolism and Regulation of lipid metabolism

Cancers

TFF1

Stabilizer of the mucous gel overlying the gastrointestinal mucosa that provides a physical barrier against various noxious agents. May inhibit the growth of calcium oxalate crystals in urine.

Estrogen signaling pathway, adhesion

Breast and gastric cancer
