It regulates the endocytic recycling of the oncogenic glycoprotein CD147 and ensures its proper maturation via the ER–Golgi pathway. This regulation not only maintains a sustained cell surface level of CD147 but also influences downstream events such as matrix metalloproteinase secretion and the malignant behavior of hepatocellular carcinoma cells."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "2"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn non‐small cell lung cancer cells, YIPF2 has been found to support chemotherapeutic agent–mediated apoptosis by enhancing the cell surface localization of TNFRSF10B.
