Unravelling the connection between metabolism and tumorigenesis through studies of the liver kinase B1 tumour suppressor
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
The liver kinase B1 (LKB1) tumour suppressor functions as a master regulator of growth, metabolism and survival in cells, which is frequently mutated in sporadic human non-small cell lung and cervical cancers. LKB1 functions as a key upstream activator of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a central metabolic switch found in all eukaryotes that govern glucose and lipid metabolism and autophagy in response...
