receptor tirosina-cinasa del linfoma anaplásico
Scope note: Tirosina-cinasa receptora que es esencial para el desarrollo y la diferenciación del sistema nervioso en respuesta a factores de crecimiento secretados. Fosforila la primera tirosina del motivo Y-x-x-x-Y-Y de dianas tales como las PROTEÍNAS PROTOONCOGÉNICAS C-CBL, las PROTEÍNAS SUSTRATO DEL RECEPTOR DE INSULINA de tipo 1 y las PROTEÍNAS CINASAS ACTIVADAS POR MITÓGENOS, dando lugar a la activación de la vía de transducción de señales de MAPK y a proliferación celular. Una anomalía cromosómica que afecta al gen ALK causa su expresión constitutiva en algunos casos de LINFOMA NO HODGKINIANO.

Scope note: A receptor tyrosine kinase that is essential for development and differentiation of the nervous system in response to secreted growth factors. It phosphorylates the first tyrosine of the Y-x-x-x-Y-Y motif of targets that include PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEINS C-CBL; INSULIN RECEPTOR SUBSTRATE-1; and MITOGEN-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASES, leading to activation of the MAPK signaling pathway and cell proliferation. A chromosomal aberration involving the ALK gene results in its constitutive expression in some cases of NON-HODGKIN LYMPHOMA.
