Differential Induction of Glioblastoma Migration and Growth by Two Forms of Pleiotrophin
21 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
Glioblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor of adults and one of the most lethal cancers. The secreted growth factor pleiotrophin (PTN) promotes glioblastoma migration and proliferation, initiating its oncogenic activities through two cell surface receptors, the protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor zeta (PTPRZ1) and the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), respectively.
