BCLAF1 and liver cancer: This study aimed to demonstrate that ginsenoside compound K (20 (S)-ginsenoside CK; CK) downregulates Bcl-2-associated transcription factor 1 (Bclaf1), which inhibits the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)-mediated glycolysis pathway to inhibit the proliferation of liver cancer cells.
