Abstract:Background: Tumor metastasis suppressors are proteins that impede secondary tumor formation by inhibiting one or more steps of the metastasis cascade without stimulating primary tumor growth. Raf-1 kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP) is a metastasis suppressor that inhibits metastasis in breast, prostate, melanoma and several other types of cancers. The molecular mechanism through which RKIP executes its anti-metastasis effects is not yet completely defined. The objective of the current study is to understand how … Show more
