Serine threonine tyrosine kinase 1 (STYK1, also known as NOK), a member of the receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) family, can promote metastasis of lung cancer through inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by activating the AKT/glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3B) pathway [95]. Here, GSK3B is linked to lung carcinoma.
