Facts about Protein LYRIC.
Promotes anchorage-independent growth of immortalized melanocytes and astrocytes which is a key component in tumor cell expansion. Promotes lung metastasis and also has an impact on bone and brain metastasis, possibly by enhancing the seeding of tumor cells into the target organ endothelium.

In the mammary gland, expressed at the apical surface of epithelial cells lining ducts, as well as in the mammary fat pad. Not detected in the spleen, kidney, lung, or skin; minute amounts seen in the liver. Expressed in Purkinje neurons in the early postnatal and adult cerebellum. Overexpressed in mammary tumors (at protein level).
