Piquing our interest: Insights into the role of PEAK3 in signaling and disease.

ABSTRACT

Pseudokinases are critical signaling hubs that are increasingly appreciated as important disease targets. In this issue of Science Signaling, Hou et al. bring new insights into the signaling mechanisms of the pseudokinase PEAK3 by characterizing its epidermal growth factor-dependent interactome and demonstrating oncogenic effects of PEAK3 overexpression.
