Olfactomedin 4 mediation of prostate stem/progenitor-like cell proliferation and differentiation via MYC

Abstract Olfactomedin 4 (OLFM4) is expressed in normal prostate epithelial cells and immortalized normal human prostate epithelial cells (RWPE1), but the identity of OLFM4-expressing cells within these populations and OLFM4’s physiological functions in these cells have not been elucidated.
