ERVW-1 gene

ERVW-1 gene is used to express Syncytin-1 protein. Syncytin is expressed in the testicles and placenta, it is needed for the formation of syncytium, therefore, cell fusion. Additionally, it is used in sex cells fusion. Due to its fusion properties, and fact that some cancer types have overabundance of syncytin receptors (e.g. colorectal adenocarcinoma). Therefore, if any team aims to use fusion proteins, or need to specifically aim for cancer cells, this part will present a perfect candidate for such project.
