Roles of FAK family kinases in nervous system.
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and its related kinase, proline rich tyrosine kinase 2 (PYK2), are major kinases activated by cell-extracellular matrix adhesion. Although they are highly expressed in the nervous system, the functions of these two kinases in the nervous system remained unclear until recently. FAK and PYK2 appear to play an important role in developing nervous system as well as adult...
متن کاملMicroenvironmental regulation of E-cadherin-mediated adherens junctions.
The interaction between tumor cells and the microenvironment has substantial effects on tumor cell behavior by influencing cell-cell as well as cell-matrix contacts. The underlying molecular mechanisms are only partially unraveled. In this review we focus on the influence of the stromal microenvironment, especially collagen type I and type III on cellular adhesion and epithelial to mesenchymal ...
متن کاملFocal adhesion kinase signaling and function in pancreatic cancer.
In the United States and the European Union, pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in both men and women. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy have had little impact on survival, prompting the National Cancer Institute to declare that survival for pancreatic cancer has remained unchanged for three decades and its treatment has consistently been identified as an area of unm...
متن کاملFocal adhesion kinase signaling activities and their implications in the control of cell survival and motility.
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) was first described in 1992 as a novel nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinase localized prominently within focal adhesions, suggesting a signaling role in regulating cell behavior resulting from integrin interaction with the extracellular matrix. Subsequent studies over the past decade have established functional roles for FAK as a positive regulator of both cell motili...
متن کاملFocal adhesion kinase in integrin-mediated signaling.
Integrins serve as adhesion receptors for extracellular matrix proteins and also transduce biochemical signals into the cell. These signaling events regulate such cellular processes as proliferation, apoptosis, migration and spreading. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is an important protein tyrosine kinase which mediates several integrin signaling pathways. Putative mechanisms of integrin-mediated ...
