Random Mutagenesis Reveals Residues of JAK2 Critical in Evading Inhibition by a Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor
16 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The non-receptor tyrosine kinase JAK2 is implicated in a group of myeloproliferative neoplasms including polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis. JAK2-selective inhibitors are currently being evaluated in clinical trials. Data from drug-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia patients demonstrate that treatment with a small-molecule inhibitor generates resistance via...
