Clustering of Activating Mutations in c-KIT’s Juxtamembrane Coding Region in Canine Mast Cell Neoplasms
1 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
The proto-oncogene c-KIT encodes a growth factor receptor, KIT, with ligand-dependent tyrosine kinase activity that is expressed by several cell types including mast cells. c-KIT juxtamembrane coding region mutations causing constitutive activation of KIT are capable of transforming cell lines and have been identified in a human mast cell line and in situ in human gastrointestinal stromal tumors, but have not...
