Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Tumorigenesis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) is driven by gain-of-function mutations in the KIT gene, which result in overexpression of activated mutant KIT proteins (MT-KIT). However, the mechanism of MT-KIT overexpression is poorly understood. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: By protein expression analysis and immunofluorescent microscopic analysis, we determine the stability and localization of MT-KIT...
