A functional and regulatory network associated with PIP expression in human breast cancer.
<h4>Background</h4>The PIP (prolactin-inducible protein) gene has been shown to be expressed in breast cancers, with contradictory results concerning its implication. As both the physiological role and the molecular pathways in which PIP is involved are poorly understood, we conducted co...
