Mechanism of Action of a Novel Golgi-Targeted Anti-Cancer Agent
Mechanism of Action of a Novel Golgi-Targeted Anti-Cancer Agent PROJECT SUMMARY To cure cancer we need new, actionable targets for therapeutics that are orthogonal to current treatment strategies to enable new, combinatorial treatment regimens. The Golgi GOLPH3 pathway has emerged as an attractive target. Genes encoding GOLPH3 pathway proteins (GOLPH3, MYO18A, PITPNC1, and PI4KB) have all been identified as frequently amplified and over-expressed in common human cancers, acting to drive cancer (including lung, breast, colorectal, and prostate cancers). Furthermore, the function of the GOLPH3 pathway is unique among known cancer promoting genes in that the GOLPH3 pathway functions in vesicle…
