Doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1) is a serine/threonine kinase that is overexpressed in gastrointestinal cancers, including esophageal, gastric, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers. DCLK1 is also used as a marker of tuft cells, which regulate type II immunity in the gut. However, the substrates and functions of DCLK1 are understudied. We recently described the first selective DCLK1/2 inhibitor, DCLK1-IN-1, developed to aid the functional characterization of this important kinase. Here we describ ...[more]
