14-3-3ζ (also known as tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein, zeta polypeptide) is a member of the 14-3-3 family of proteins which mediate signal transduction by binding to phosphoserine-containing proteins. 14-3-3ζ protein plays a key role in cancer biology by being an important regulator of major cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, senescence and apoptosis. 14-3-3ζ protein has been shown to interact with the IRS1 protein, suggesting a role for this protein in regulating insulin sensitivity by interrupting the association between the insulin receptor and IRS1.
14-3-3 proteins are relevant to cancer biology as they are key regulators of major cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, senescence and apoptosis. So far, the sigma isoform (14-3-3sigma) has most directly been implicated in carcinogenesis and was recognized as

The family of 14-3-3 proteins has emerged as critical regulators of diverse cellular responses under both physiological and pathological conditions. Here, we report an important role of 14-3-3zeta in tumorigenesis through a mechanism that involves anoikis resistance. 14-3-3zeta is up-regulated
