Abstract

ABSTRACTProline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (PYK2, also known as Pyk2) and its closely related focal adhesion kinase (FAK) modulate cancer cell invasion by coordinating the balance between focal adhesion-mediated migration and invadopodia-dependent extracellular matrix invasion. Our recent findings present Pyk2 and FAK as novel mediators of breast cancer invasiveness and as potential targets for blocking breast cancer metastasis.
