Abstract excerpt
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) protein is an orphan receptor tyrosine kinase that is constitutively activated by aberrant translocations of the ALK gene in anaplastic large cell lymphoma, ALK-positive and several other cancers. Additionally, aberrant mutation and amplification of the ALK gene, resulting in ALK kinase activation, were detected mainly in neuroblastoma. Recently, truncated ALK protein was also...
