Thus, the present invention relates to a method for identifying agents which modulate the trafficking or binding activities of a PIPKI?. A method for diagnosing and prognosing a cancer derived from epithelial cells by detecting the amount and subcellular location of PIPKI? is also provided as is a method for preventing or treating a disease or condition involving PIPK? activity or cadherin localization.
