Metastasis is a multistep process responsible for the majority of endocrine cancer deaths. Central to the ability of cells to move is the recruitment of actin fibres at the periphery of the cell by key proteins, especially the cortical actin binding protein cortactin. A full understanding of cortactin function is required in order to address metastatic cell activity within endocrine cancer. We used IP-MS to discover protein binding partners, and now identify the proto-oncogene...
