SKIDA1 expression is associated with multiple types of cancer. It is over-expressed in epithelial ovarian cancer cells. Its expression is altered by various cancer-treatment compounds: human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells; oleate salts; metformin; and aspirin. In cell lines of cancerous cells, altered expression is associated with resistance to dasatinib and docetaxel, which are used to treat cancer.
