Cas and NEDD9 Contribute to Tumor Progression through Dynamic Regulation of the Cytoskeleton

Abstract excerpt

The Cas family proteins, p130(Cas) (Cas) and NEDD9, are adaptor molecules that regulate cytoskeletal dynamics to promote multiple cellular processes, including migration, invasion, proliferation, and survival. Because these functions are also critical for tumor initiation, growth, and metastasis, Cas and NEDD9 are well positioned to contribute to these oncogenic processes. Indeed, mouse models of cancer show that...
