Fumarase hydratase (FH) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible hydration and dehydration of fumarate to malate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. The present study addressed the role of FH in endometrial cancer and clinically observed that the expression of FH was significantly lower in endometrial cancer tissues compared with normal endometrial tissues and, furthermore, that the decreased FH expression in endometrial cancer tissues was significantly associated with increased tumor size and lymph node metastasis. Further analysis in
TL;DR

It is suggested that FH is a tumor suppressor and inhibits endometrial cancer cell proliferation and metastasis by inactivation of EGFR.
