Suppression of KCMF1 by constitutive high CD99 expression is involved in the migratory ability of Ewing's sarcoma cells
High CD99 expression levels and rearrangements of the EWS gene with ETS transcription factor genes characterize the Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT). CD99 is a cell surface glycoprotein whose engagement ha...
