Abstract excerpt
RAFs initiate the cascade leading to activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs). In a substantial fraction of cancer cells, RAFs are the least abundant pathway proteins between receptor tyrosine kinases and ERKs. In some cases, active RAF kinases are present at the plasma membrane at just hundreds of copies per cell, but the consequences of such limited RAF abundance are unclear. By...
