GALNT14 promotes lung-specific breast cancer metastasis by modulating self-renewal and interaction with the lung microenvironment

Polypeptide N-acetyl-galactosaminyltransferases (GALNTs) are associated with cancer, but their function in organ-specific metastasis is unclear. Here the authors show that GALNT14 promotes breast cancer metastasis to the lung by enhancing the initiation of metastatic colonies and subsequent growth.
