Our finding of Abi1 overexpression during the development of invasive carcinomas is comparable to findings made in ovarian cancer, where coexpression of the trimeric Abi1/SOS1/Eps8-complex is a prerequisite for Rac-dependent ovarial cancer cell motility upon lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-stimulation [42]. The gene discussed is EPS8; the disease is ovarian carcinoma.
