Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a pivotal role in tumorigenesis, particularly with relation to cancer cell invasion and metastasis. NO can reversibly couple to cysteine thiols to form an S-nitrosothiol, which regulates the enzymatic activities of target proteins. c-Src is a tyrosine kinase that promotes cancer cell invasion and metastasis. Interestingly, c-Src can be activated by NO stimulation. However, mechanisms by...
