Deregulation of protein phosphatase 2A inhibitor SET is associated with malignant progression in breast cancer

Abstract To understand the mechanism underlying metastasis, identification of a mechanism-based and common biomarker for circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in heterogenous breast cancer is needed. SET, an endogenous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A, was overexpressed in all subtypes of invasive brea...
