ILK facilitates the formation of the IQ motif-containing GTPase-activating protein 1 (IQGAP1)-Ras complex leading to activation of Ras/c-Raf/MEK1/2/ERK1/2, ribosomal S6 kinase and NF-κB signaling in AGS, SNU-1, MKN45, GES-1 gastric cancer cell lines. This evidence concerns the gene NFKB1 and gastric cancer.
