Abstract excerpt
KIT, a receptor protein tyrosine kinase (RTK), is localized in the plasma membrane and binds stem cell factor. A cancer-causing permanently active mutant of KIT (KITmut) accumulates aberrantly in intracellular compartments. Oncogenic RTK mutants other than KITmut also exhibit characteristic organelle localization, unlike their wild-type counterparts. However, the precise subcellular localization of RTKmut and its...
