Abstract:TROP2 (trophoblastic cell surface protein 2), a cell-surface glycoprotein, is named after its high expression only in trophoblast cells. Recent studies found that TROP2 protein is overexpressed in a variety of human epithelial cancers, and it is associated with the prognosis. However, the mechanism is still not clear.
