The plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA) is an essential regulator of free intracellular calcium. Recent studies have reported aberrant expression of the PMCA1 gene, a member of the PMCA family, in several cancer cell types. To elucidate the contribution of PMCA1 to oral carcinogenesis, we analyzed genetic and epigenetic changes and mRNA and protein expression in primary oral squamous cell carcin...
