Notably, in the present proteomic analysis, 40% of the proteins identified to be involved in cancer metastasis processes, including cofilin 1, annexin A2 isoform 2 (ANXA2), protein kinase C inhibitor protein 1 (YWHAZ), S100A9, chain K acetyl-cypa:cyclosporine complex (PPIA), phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein (PEBP1) and p27BBP. The gene discussed is YWHAZ; the disease is cancer.
