basic FUNCTION
  • LIMD2 is a new component of the signal transduction cascade that links integrin-mediated signaling to cell motility/metastatic behavior
  • is a small LIM-only protein that has been demonstrated to promote tumor progression
  • LIMD2 enhances phosphorylation of kinases associated with EMT and invasion
  • LIMD2 promotes the proliferation and invasion of ovarian cancer, potentially through regulating the focal adhesion signaling pathway
