PTK2 and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: In the present study, we found that the tyrosine kinase complex-focal adhesion kinase (FAK)/Src family kinase (SFK) axis specifically contributes to metabolic reprogramming by inducing the phosphorylation of ATP-citrate synthase (ACLY) Tyr542, Tyr652, and fructose-bisphosphate aldolase A (ALDOA) Tyr174, Tyr302, or Tyr328 sites in both primary and metastatic ESCC cells.
