Excerpt

Reelin is a secreted signalling protein whose major function has so far been described in the developing brain, where it is involved in cell positioning of neuronal progenitor cells. Recently, the Reelin promoter has been found to be methylated in pancreatic cancer and this was associated with increased migratory ability [1], whereas in the prostate Reelin expression is associated with high-grade cancers [2]. …
