Abstract
Cancer evades therapy by multiple mechanisms, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and metastasis. Targeted therapies have shown promise in treating cancer by focusing on pathways within cancer cells. The PEAK family, comprising PEAK1 (SgK269), PEAK2 (SgK223/Pragmin), and the latest addition, PEAK3 (C19orf35), plays a crucial role in modulating cellular processes. Dysregulation and hyperactivity of these proteins, through overexpression or mutations, are associated with a wide range of cancers. This review delves into the different roles of the PEAK family members in regulating cell signaling pathways and highlights their potential in cancer therapy.
期刊介绍：
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry: An International Journal for Chemical Biology in Health and Disease publishes original research papers and short communications in all areas of the biochemical sciences, emphasizing novel findings relevant to the biochemical basis of cellular function and disease processes, as well as the mechanics of action of hormones and chemical agents. Coverage includes membrane transport, receptor mechanism, immune response, secretory processes, and cytoskeletal function, as well as biochemical structure-function relationships in the cell.
In addition to the reports of original research, the journal publishes state of the art reviews. Specific subjects covered by Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry include cellular metabolism, cellular pathophysiology, enzymology, ion transport, lipid biochemistry, membrane biochemistry, molecular biology, nuclear structure and function, and protein chemistry.
