Focal adhesion kinase (FAK, also known as protein tyrosine kinase 2, PTK2) is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase that has essential roles in integrin-induced signal transduction (Schaller, 2010), and it has been found to be overexpressed and activated in the initiation and progression of various malignancies, including head and neck, breast, and ovarian carcinoma (Golubovskaya, 2010; Lee et al., 2015; Yoon et al., 2015). The gene discussed is PTK2; the disease is ovarian carcinoma.
