Tank Binding Kinase 1 (TBK1) is one such kinase, which is known to be activated on the centrosomes during mitosis (Pillai et al., 2015; Sarraf et al., 2019) and is also often overexpressed in certain cancer types (Chen et al., 2017; Uhlen et al., 2017; Wei et al., 2014). This evidence concerns the gene TBK1 and cancer.
