Association of the Breast Cancer Antiestrogen Resistance Protein 1 (BCAR1) and BCAR3 Scaffolding Proteins in Cell Signaling and Antiestrogen Resistance

Most breast cancers are estrogen receptor-positive and treated with antiestrogens, but aberrant signaling networks can induce drug resistance. One of these networks involves the scaffolding protein BCAR1/p130CAS, which regulates cell growth and migration/invasion. A less investigated scaffolding protein that also confers antiestrogen resistance is the SH2 domain-containing protein BCAR3. BCAR1 and BCAR3 bind tightly to each other through their...
