Moreover, it is known that the inhibition of KIF20A hinders the growth of several cancer cells (Jin et al., 2023) and Nakamura and colleagues reported that the suppression of KIF20A arrested cells in the G2/M phase in breast cancer, while Zhang et al. reduced the colorectal cancer cell proliferation and migration by drecreasing the cell transition from G1 to S phase through the E2F1 transcription factor in hepatocellular carcinoma (Nakamura et al., 2020; Wang, H. et al., 2020). Here, KIF20A is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
