Proto-oncogene Src links lipogenesis via lipin-1 to breast cancer malignancy

Altered lipid metabolism has been associated with tumour malignancy, but underlying mechanisms are not clear. Here the authors show that proto-oncogene Src interacts and phosphorylates metabolic enzyme phosphatidic acid phosphatase LPIN1 (lipin-1) to promote growth and metastasis in breast cancer.
