MeSH Heading: Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase
Tree Number(s): D08.811.913.696.620.682.725.400.002; D12.776.476.568.400.002; D12.776.543.750.630.002
Unique ID: D000077548
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000077548
Scope Note: A receptor tyrosine kinase that is essential for development and differentiation of the nervous system in response to secreted growth factors. It phosphorylates the first tyrosine of the Y-x-x-x-Y-Y motif of targets that include PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEINS C-CBL; INSULIN RECEPTOR SUBSTRATE-1; and MITOGEN-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASES, leading to activation of the MAPK signaling pathway and cell proliferation. A chromosomal aberration involving the ALK gene results in its constitutive expression in some cases of NON-HODGKIN LYMPHOMA.
Entry Term(s): ALK Kinase; ALK Tyrosine Kinase Receptor; Anaplastic Lymphoma Receptor Tyrosine Kinase; CD246 Antigen; NPM-ALK; Nucleophosmin-Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase
Registry Number: EC 2.7.10.1
