EGFR-coamplified and overexpressed protein, which is ECOP, is a human protein coded by this gene found on chromosome 7p11.2 and containing 15 exons. Also known as VOPP1 (overexpressed in cancer, prosurvival protein 1) or GASP (a human protein that is found in the VOPP1 gene), it is often involved in cancer biology because it is expressed in different forms of cancer. ECOP was identified in the beginning of research because it was typically amplified at the same time as the receptor gene EGFR in tumors. |

This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you’re starting a new article, you can develop it here until it’s ready to go live. If you’re working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the “Publish page” button. (It just means ‘save’; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
ECOP and The Functions of it
[edit]
EGFR-coamplified and overexpressed protein, which is ECOP, is a human protein coded by this gene found on chromosome 7p11.2 and containing 15 exons. Also known as VOPP1 (overexpressed in cancer, prosurvival protein 1) or GASP (a human protein that is found in the VOPP1 gene), it is often involved in cancer biology because it is expressed in different forms of cancer. ECOP was identified in the beginning of research because it was typically amplified at the same time as the receptor gene EGFR in tumors. It has the characteristics of being an oncogene and has been a target for cancer therapy research with the increasing attention it is getting from being often found in various tumors like glioblastomas, gastric adenocarcinoma, and squamous cell carcinomas. This protein tends to be found in the cytoplasmic vesicle membranes and it is expressed in different forms of human tissues.
Further cellular and molecular research shows ECOP is a vesicle-associated protein that balances inflammation and signaling within one’s body. ECOP is known to enable enzyme binding activity specifically in regulation of the transcription factor, NF-kappaB, and its pathway. Other functional studies infer that it can aid in having a resistance to apoptosis and can have its contributions to tumor expansiveness and aggressiveness. Research has also found that it has a certain important role in being a diagnostic or prognostic biomarker as well as a potential therapeutic selection.
ECOP was first discovered in the early 2000s.
