Roles of integrin-linked kinase in cell signaling and its perspectives as a therapeutic target

Integrin-linked kinase (ILK) localizes to focal adhesions, and interacts with the cytoplasmic tail of β subunits of integrins and couples them to the actin cytoskeleton. ILK may act as a kinase and transmit the signals in a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent manner, or can act as a scaffold pro...
