Abstract
Dysregulation of cell cycle machinery causes abnormal cell division, leading to cancer development. To drive cell cycle properly, expression levels of cell cycle regulators are tightly regulated through the cell cycle. Dual specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 2 (DYRK2) is a Ser/Thr kinase, and its intracellular functions had not been elucidated for decades. Recent studies have shown that DYRK2 down-regulates key molecules on cell cycle control. This review mainly highlights the DYRK2 function during cell division. In addition, we summarize tumor suppressive role of DYRK2 in cancer cells and discuss future research directions for DYRK2 toward the novel cancer therapies.Entities:
