PBK and cancer: Genetic mutation of p53, BRAF, RAS, CDKN2A and PTEN, and abnormal expression/activation of T-LAK cell-originated protein kinase (TOPK), mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK), 90 kDa ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) and AKT in melanoma and NMSC induce cancer cell signal transduction thereby promoting skin carcinogenesis and cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion [6,9,11,12,13,14].
