Abstract excerpt
Autocrine motility factor (AMF)/phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) is a ubiquitous cytosolic enzyme and is produced as a leaderless secretory protein, released from cells via a nonclassical pathway. AMF/PGI acts extracellularly as a potent mitogen/cytokine (CXXC, chemokine). Increased expression of AMF/PGI and its receptor/CXXC-R has been found in a wide spectrum of malignancies, and is associated with cancer...
