Gla-Rich Protein Is a Potential New Vitamin K Target in Cancer: Evidences for a Direct GRP-Mineral Interaction

<table>GRP-F1, MGP, and <i>γ</i>-carboxylation related genes exhibit similar expression patterns in control and skin cancer. Levels of GRP-F1, MGP, GGCX, VKOR, OPN, and TNF<i>α</i> gene expression were determined by qPCR in three control skin (Sk 1–3) and five skin cancer (SC 1–5) samples and normalized using 18S and GAPDH as housekeeping genes. Expression values are relative to zero and represent the mean of duplicates; standard deviations are indicated.</table>
