Cucurbitacin b is a lipid of Sterol Lipids (ST) class. Cucurbitacin b is associated with abnormalities such as Morphologically altered structure. The involved functions are known as Signal Transduction, Apoptosis, Cell Cycle Arrest, Cell Cycle and Negative Regulation of Mitosis. Cucurbitacin b often locates in Mediastinum and Pseudopodia. The associated genes with Cucurbitacin B are STAT5A gene, JAK2 gene, STAT3 gene, CDKN1A gene and BCL2L1 gene. The related experimental models are Xenograft Model.
To understand associated biological information of Cucurbitacin B, we collected biological information of abnormalities, associated pathways, cellular/molecular locations, biological functions, related genes/proteins, lipids and common seen animal/experimental models with organized paragraphs from literatures.
Cucurbitacin B is suspected in Morphologically altered structure and other diseases in descending order of the highest number of associated sentences.
