Abstract excerpt
Receptor tyrosine kinases couple a wide variety of extracellular cues to cellular responses. The class III subfamily comprises the platelet-derived growth factor receptor, c-Kit, Flt3 and c-Fms, all of which relay cell proliferation signals upon ligand binding. Accordingly, mutations in these proteins that confer ligand-independent activation are found in a subset of cancers. These mutations cluster in the...
