“…The physiological functions of ALPL include its effects on vascular endothelial cell growth factor, chondrocyte growth, apoptosis and MAPK signaling ( Nam et al, 2017 ). The biochemical interactions between ALPL and MAP4K1 , MAP4KAPK2 and PIK3C2b reflect the evident role of ALPL in MAPK and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways and these pathways also have well-established studies in breast cancer pathogenesis ( Han et al, 2017 , Bai et al, 2019 , Paplomata and O'Regan, 2014 , Jiang et al, 2020 , Khoury et al, 2020 ). Therefore, this study aimed to understand the role of ALP genes in relevance with breast cancer pathogenicity.…”
