Significance of Dok2 Protein in Cancer Prognosis and Progression

Abstract

Cancer is the most leading cause of deaths worldwide. Despite present understanding and experimental advancements, the morbidity and mortality still remain high. Dok2 have been visualized as a key player in multiple biological processes as inflammation, differentiation, cellular migration and even as an important marker for tumor progression. Recent reports have vividly discussed the regulatory aspects and prognostic aspects of Dok2. Here, we sought to summarize the recent shreds of evidence of Dok2 involvement in carcinogenesis. Dok2 represents an attractive marker for cancer progression and represents a valuable therapeutic target.
