Abstract excerpt
Kit is a cell surface type III tyrosine kinase (TK) receptor implicated in cell transformation through overexpression or oncogenic mutation. Two categories of Kit mutants displaying mutations either in the juxtamembrane intracellular domain (regulatory mutants) or in the catalytic domain (catalytic mutants) have been described. To explore the effect of Kit oncogenic mutations on its subcellular localization, we...
