ALK inhibitors are potential anti cancer drugs that act on tumours with variations

2992 views | Dec 19 2012

The ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) gene encodes a tyrosine kinase belonging to the insulin receptor superfamily. ALK is abundantly expressed in neural tissue during embryogenesis, but levels fall during early development, so that in adults it is expressed only in rare scattered neural cells (Iwahara et al., 1997; Morris et al., 1997; Webb et al., 2009; Ardini et al., 2010).
