Loss of cell polarity is frequently observed in metastatic tumours. Mojallal et al.show that this loss is associated with expression of the scaffold protein AmotL2 in human tumours, and reveal that AmotL2 disrupts the transport of polarity complexes to the plasma membrane following its induction by hypoxia.
