Abstract
IQGAP1, a versatile scaffolding protein, critically regulates cytoskeletal organization, cell motility, proliferation, and signaling cascades. Beyond coordinating these cellular functions, it is increasingly recognized as a key driver in malignancies, immune dysfunction, metabolic dysregulation, and cardiovascular pathologies. By binding receptor tyrosine kinases, small GTPases, and downstream effectors, IQGAP1 modulates oncogenesis, immune evasion, and metabolic imbalance, while contributing to chemoresistance. This review synthesizes advances in IQGAP1's structural domains, disease-specific signaling networks, and therapeutic targeting strategies, emphasizing its translational potential in developing precision therapies for cancer, metabolic syndromes, and immune disorders.
期刊介绍：
Cancer Imaging and Diagnosis is dedicated to the publication of results from clinical and research studies applied to cancer diagnosis and treatment. The section aims to publish studies from the entire field of cancer imaging: results from routine use of clinical imaging in both radiology and nuclear medicine, results from clinical trials, experimental molecular imaging in humans and small animals, research on new contrast agents in CT, MRI, ultrasound, publication of new technical applications and processing algorithms to improve the standardization of quantitative imaging and image guided interventions for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
