Abstract excerpt
Cytoskeleton disorganization is an early step in the activation process of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) by membrane type 1 MMP (MT1-MMP) but is also associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) dysfunction and subsequent cell death. Given evidence that the ER-embedded glucose-6-phosphate transporter (G6PT) regulates glioblastoma cell survival and that MT1-MMP is a key enzyme in the cancer cell invasive...
