Description | Background: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a tyrosine kinase receptor for pleiotrophin (PTN), a growth factor involved in embryonic brain development. In ALK-expressing cells, PTN induces phosphorylation of both ALK and the downstream effectors IRS-1, Shc, PLCgamma, and PI3 kinase. ALK was originally discovered as a nucleophosmin (NPM)-ALK fusion protein produced by a translocation. Investigators have found that the NPM-ALK fusion protein is a constitutively active, oncogenic tyrosine kinase associated with anaplastic lymphoma. Research literature suggests that activation of PLCgamma by NPM-ALK may be a crucial step for its mitogenic activity and involved in the pathogenesis of anaplastic lymphomas. A distinct ALK oncogenic fusion prot |
