Integrin-linked kinase and its partners: a modular platform regulating cell-matrix adhesion dynamics and cytoskeletal organization.
Integrin-linked kinase (ILK) represents a key component of integrin signaling complexes that functions in concert with multiple binding partners to transmit cues from the extracellular matrix environment to the actin cytoskeleton. Both gain- and loss-of-function approaches to study ILK have confirmed the essential role of this protein in regulating cell-matrix adhesion dynamics and cytoskeletal organization.
