Abstract excerpt
Liver kinase B1 (LKB1) is a tumor suppressor ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine protein kinase involved in energy metabolism and cellular polarity. In microarray experiments that compared normal tubal epithelium with high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC), we observed a decrease in LKB1 mRNA expression in HGSC. In this study, we demonstrate that loss of cytoplasmic and nuclear LKB1 protein expression is...
