The novel putative intestinal and pancreatic stem cell marker DCAMKL-1 [187,188], a microtubule-associated kinase, plays a key role in tumorigenesis by downregulating tumor suppressor microRNAs thus inducing tumor promoters specific targets such as ZEB1, ZEB2, and Notch-1 [189,190]. Here, DCLK1 is linked to neoplasm.
