Abstract excerpt
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors, which are thought to derive from interstitial cells of Cajal or their precursors, often harbor an oncogenic mutation of the KIT receptor tyrosine kinase. Sprouty homolog 4, a known negative regulator of ERK pathway, has been identified in the interstitial cells of Cajal in the KitK641E murine model of gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Sprouty homolog 4 was upregulated both at the...
