Abstract excerpt
Activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway regulated by human MAP kinase 1 (MEK1) is associated with the carcinogenesis and progression of numerous cancers. In addition, two active mutations (P124S and E203K) have been reported to enhance the activity of MEK1, thereby eventually leading to the tumorigenesis of cancer. Trametinib is an MEK1 inhibitor for treating EML4-ALK-positive,...
