Metastasis is the leading cause of death for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the protein transport process involved in CRC metastasis remains unclear. In this report, we use whole-exome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis to identify somatic mutations in CRC samples and found mutations of the protein transport gene Sec23 homolog B (SEC23B) in patients with metachronous liver metastasis. We show that deletion of SEC23B suppresses the membrane localization of adhesion proteins and augments ce ...[more]
