Abstract excerpt
In this study, we report a novel role of FAK as a regulator of Cdk2 in anchorage-dependent primary cultured hepatocytes. In response to EGF, we found that S-phase entry was reduced upon FAK inhibition. This correlated with decreased protein expression and nuclear accumulation of the G1/S-phase regulator Cdk2. Further, nuclear accumulation of the Cdk2 partner cyclinE, was reduced, but not its protein level. Also,...
