The Sodium Pump α1 Subunit as a Potential Target to Combat Apoptosis-Resistant Glioblastomas

摘要

PurposeTo review the involvement of the ion transporter Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase (NaK) in the migration and proliferation of glioma cells. Preliminary studies indicate that NaK α1 subunits seem to be upregulated in a proportion of glioblastomas but not in normal brain tissues.
