Abstract excerpt
Snail1 is a major factor for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), an important event in tumor metastasis and in other pathologies. Snail1 is tightly regulated at transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. Control of Snail1 protein stability and nuclear export by GSK3beta phosphorylation is important for Snail1 functionality. Stabilization mechanisms independent of GSK3beta have also been reported,...
