The RNA‐binding protein neuro‐oncological ventral antigen 1 (NOVA1) is downregulated in colorectal cancer (CRC) and is associated with poor prognosis. NOVA1 binds and stabilizes neurexin 1 (NRXN1) messenger RNA (mRNA), thereby increasing NRXN1 expression and suppressing tumor cell proliferation, invasion, immune evasion, and liver metastasis; NRXN1 ...
