Abstract excerpt
Mutation of the BRAF oncogene is one of the most common mutations detected in human neoplasia, occurring in 40-60% of all cutaneous melanoma. BRAF is a serine/threonine protein kinase which is an essential part of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. It is physiologically activated by RAS, but in mutated form, due to molecular conformational change, BRAF becomes constitutively active with...
