AMOTL2 inhibits lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer by suppressing TGF-β/Smad signaling and is destabilized by the E3 ubiquitin ligase SMURF1
Angiomotin-like protein 2 (AMOTL2) regulates cell polarity and cytoskeletal regulation, but its role in gastric cancer (GC) remains undefined. Here, we show that AMOTL2 is frequently downregulated in GC tissues and cell lines, and its low expression is associated with deeper tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, and s...
