Abstract

Src kinase is a membrane-related nonreceptor tyrosine kinase that plays an essential role in cell growth, division, migration, and survival signaling pathways. In addition, it regulates glucose metabolism in cancer cells through different mechanisms, such as directly regulating glucose metabolism related enzymes and glucose transporters or indirectly regulating transcription factors and signal transduction pathways. In this review, we clarify the role of Src kinase in regulating glucose metabolism in cancer cells, and partially explain the pathogenesis of malignant tumors. We also discuss that further understanding and study of the role of Src kinase in glucose metabolism will provide a potential therapeutic window for cancer treatment.
