Abstract excerpt
Galpha(12), the alpha-subunit of G12, which has been referred to as the gep oncogene, stimulates mitogenic pathways in different cell types and readily induces neoplastic transformation of fibroblast cell lines. Recently, we have shown that the oncogenic pathway activated by Galpha(12) involves the receptor tyrosine kinase platelet derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRalpha) and JAK3. In the present study,...
