[HTML][HTML] Inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate 3-kinase-A is a new cell motility-promoting protein that increases the metastatic potential of tumor cells by two functional activities

Cellular migration is an essential prerequisite for metastatic dissemination of cancer cells.
This study demonstrates that the neuron/testis-specific F-actin-targeted inositol 1, 4, 5-
trisphosphate 3-kinase-A (ITPKA) is ectopically expressed in different human tumor cell lines
and during tumor progression in the metastatic tumor model Balb-neuT. High expression of
ITPKA increases invasive migration in vitro and metastasis in a xenograft SCID mouse
model. Mechanistic studies show that ITPKA promotes migration of tumor cells by two …
