Abstract excerpt
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are the primary mediators of the signaling network that transmit extracellular signals into the cell. Gene amplification and/or overexpression of RTK proteins or functional alterations caused by mutations in the corresponding genes or abnormal autocrine-paracrine growth factor loops contribute to constitutive RTK signaling, ultimately resulting in the manifestation of dysregulated...
