BRAF is one of multiple RAF proteins responsible for the activation of the MAPK cell signalling cascade involved in cell growth, differentiation, and survival. A hotspot BRAFV600E mutation, in exon 15, was determined to be a driver in 100% hairy cell leukaemias, 50%-60% of human melanomas, 30%-50% of human thyroid carcinomas and 10%-20% of human colorectal carcinomas.
