Abstract
Gankyrin (PSMD10) is a 25 kDa oncogenic protein and regulatory subunit of the 26S proteasome, characterized by a sevenfold ankyrin repeat domain. Gankyrin is overexpressed in various malignancies, particularly gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. Gankyrin contributes to tumorigenesis by modulating key signaling pathways and engaging in oncogenic protein–protein interactions with tumor suppressors, including p53 and Rb, thereby promoting cell proliferation, metastasis, and resistance to treatment. Recent advances have shed light on the structural basis of gankyrin's molecular interactions, its potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker, and emerging therapeutic strategies. Together, targeting gankyrin represents a promising strategy for precision oncology in GI cancers.
期刊介绍：
This journal aims to promote progress from basic research to clinical practice and to provide a forum for communication among basic, translational, and clinical research practitioners and physicians from all relevant disciplines. Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, stroke, chronic respiratory diseases (such as asthma and COPD), chronic kidney diseases, and related translational research. Topics of interest for Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine include Research and commentary on models of chronic diseases with significant implications for disease diagnosis and treatment Investigative studies of human biology with an emphasis on disease Perspectives and reviews on research topics that discuss the implications of findings from the viewpoints of basic science and clinical practic.
