The tumor suppressor kinase LKB1: lessons from mouse models

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the tumor suppressor gene LKB1 are important in hereditary Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, as well as in sporadic cancers including lung and cervical cancer. LKB1 is a kinase-activating kinase, and a number of LKB1-dependent phosphorylation cascades regulate fundamental cellular and organismal processes in at least metabolism, polarity, cytoskeleton organization, and proliferation.
