Key result
Eag1 expression is regulated by estradiol and antiestrogens in a cell type-dependent manner and by HPV oncogenes in keratinocytes, suggesting its role as an early indicator of cell proliferation.
Eag1 potassium channels are regulated by estrogens and HPV oncogenes, suggesting a role as an early indicator of cell proliferation and a potential therapeutic target in early malignancies.

Hypothesis-generating for Eag1 as proliferation marker in estrogen/HPV contexts; does not support clinical targeting yet.
Dı́az et al. (2009) studied Cancer. Estradiol, antiestrogens, and HPV oncogenes vs. Untreated or normal cells was evaluated on Eag1 gene expression and channel activity. Eag1 expression is regulated by estradiol and antiestrogens in a cell type-dependent manner and by HPV oncogenes in keratinocytes, suggesting its role as an early indicator of cell proliferation.
