Abstract excerpt
We showed that osmotic stress induces activation of c-RET and second-set activation of constitutively activated RET-MEN2B. A few percentage of RET proteins normally formed disulfide-bonded dimers in the cell, and osmotic stress promoted formation of these dimers. The disulfide-bonded dimers displayed higher levels of autophosphorylation and catalytic activity per molecule than did monomers. Osmotic stress also...
