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 variable levels. Cysteine mutations detected in MEN-2A and FMTC induced disulphide-linked homodimers of Ret on the cell...
