Abstract excerpt
c-Kit is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) with a pivotal role in melanogenesis, gametogenesis, and hematopoiesis. Aberrantly activated RTK and related downstream signaling partners were identified as key elements in the molecular pathogenesis of several malignancies. This finding culminated in a two-class model integrating constitutive activating and maturation arrest-inducing mutations as key elements for the...
