Abstract excerpt
Biological and biochemical effects of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN-2A), type 2B (MEN-2B) and familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC) mutations on Ret function were investigated by transfection of NIH 3T3 cells. All mutations examined conferred transforming activity on Ret at vari...
