The functional role of DPF3, a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), remains unknown. Here, the authors characterise the mechanism by which DPF3 promotes metastasis via the activation of the TGF-β signalling pathway in ccRCC.
