Other WASp homologs from the WASp NPF family of proteins, such as Neural Wiskott–Aldrich Syndrome protein (N-WASp), WASp family verprolin homologous protein (WAVE) 1–3, Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome protein and SCAR homologue (WASH), WASp homolog associated with actin, membranes and microtubules (WHAMM), and junction mediating regulatory protein (JMY), are ubiquitously expressed in most healthy cell types, and have a well described role in various types of cancers as key players in mediating molecular pathogenesis26,36–39. Here, WAS is linked to cancer.
