Src modulates integrin adhesions, cadherin‐mediated cell–cell adhesions and metalloproteinase expression, and it is this disruption of intercellular adhesion that results in the detachment of tumour cells from the tumour mass, allowing them to invade through the extracellular matrix (ECM), penetrate the blood vessels and metastasize to other sites 43. Here, CDH17 is linked to neoplasm.
