Popis: Abstract Talin-1 (TLN1), encoded by the TLN1 gene, is a focal adhesion-related protein capable of binding various proteins in the cytoskeleton. It is also expressed at high levels in many cancers wherein it influences cellular adhesion and the activation of integrins. TLN1 is also capable of promoting tumor cell invasivity, proliferation, and metastatic progression, in addition to being a relevant biomarker and therapeutic target in certain cancers. The present review offers a comprehensive overview of current knowledge regarding TLN1 with respect to its structural properties, functions, and role in tumor development.
