Stathmin acts as a key regulator in the dynamics of microtubules, highlighting its important role during the cell cycle. As a result, it is broadly expressed, but it is especially prevalent in tissues where cell turnover is more frequent. Stathmin levels in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) have been shown to vary with the grade, exhibiting the most expression in CIN 3 and the least in CIN 1.
