A PI3K/AKT Scaffolding Protein, IQ Motif–Containing GTPase Associating Protein 1 (IQGAP1), Promotes Head and Neck Carcinogenesis

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Purpose: Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide with a 5-year survival rate of less than 50%. The PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway is frequently implicated in HNC. Recently, IQ motif–containing GTPase-activating protein 1 (IQGAP1) was discovered to scaffold the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. IQGAP1 gene expression is increased in HNC, raising the hypothesis that IQGAP1...
