Abstract excerpt
Approximately 30% of all types of human cancers possess a constitutively activated the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway while MAP kinase 1 (MEK1) is a critical component of this pathway. It has been reported mutations could improve the activity of MEK1 to result in cell proliferation and transformation, which is a known oncogenic event in various cancer types. In this study, eight...
