Deskripsi
The oncogene KRAS is frequently mutated in cancer, including colorectal cancer. Here, using a cell-surface proteomics approach, KRAS-mutated colorectal cancer cells are shown to express high levels of the copper transporter ATP7A, which has an essential roles in cancer cell survival and proliferation.
