Background Information
Eukaryotic elongation factor‐2 kinase (eEF2K), well‐known to be a Ca2+ calmodulin (CaM)‐dependent kinase, is overexpressed in several types of malignancies, most notably Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Increasing evidence indicates that eEF2K may modulate the expression of some apoptotic proteins such as XIAP, c‐FLIPL, Bcl‐XL, PI3KCI and p70S6K to inhibit apoptotic process in cancer. On the other hand, it may regulate autophagy involved in AMPK, mTORC1 and ULK1, thereby promoting cancer cell survival. (PMID: 29094413)
