Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Mutations in the proto-oncogene c-KIT (KIT) are found in several cancers, and the site of these mutations differs markedly between cancer types. We used site directed mutagenesis to induce KIT(559), KIT(642) and KIT(816) mutations in primary human melanocytes (PHM) and we investigated the impact of each mutation on KIT function. We studied canonical KIT-signaling pathways by immunoblotting, and we...
