Abstract excerpt
Most gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) express oncogenic and constitutively active forms of the KIT or platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) receptor tyrosine kinase proteins, and these kinase oncoproteins serve as targets for effective therapies. Given that mutant KIT oncoproteins serve crucial transforming roles in GISTs, we evaluated interactions with the KIT oncoproteins and determined...
