LASP1 is an actin-binding protein and can enhance tumor growth and metastasis in multiple cancers, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma, colorectal cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (Hu et al., 2017; Butt and Raman, 2018). This evidence concerns the gene LASP1 and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
