FAF1 phosphorylation by AKT accumulates TGF-β type II receptor and drives breast cancer metastasis

Aberrant activation of TGF-β signalling promotes cancer metastasis but the initial steps of this activation are unclear. Here Xieet al. show that FAF1 regulates the surface levels of TGF-β type II receptor thus influencing the persistence of the signalling and breast cancer metastasis.
