Signaling by kinase domain mutants of KIT
Click the image above or here to open this pathway in the Pathway Browser
Activating mutations in the kinase domain of KIT are found in a small number of cases of AML and melanoma, as well as in myeloproliferative syndromes, mastocytosis and germ cell tumors (Longley et al, 1996; 1999; Nagata et al, 1995; Beghini et al, 2000; Ning et al, 2001; Tian et al, 1999; Kemmer et al, 2004; reviewed in Roskoski, 2018; Meng and Carvajal, 2019). Mutations in the kinase domain and activation loop of KIT (encoded by exons 13, 14 and 17) also arise in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) as primary mutations (<1%) and as secondary resistance mutations in response to treatment with imatinib (Chen et al, 2004; Serrano et al, 2019; Gajiwala et al, 2008; McLean et al, 2008; reviewed in Antonescu, 2006; Roskoski, 2018; Wu et al, 2019; Corless et al, 2011). Activating kinase mutants of KIT are constitutively active in the absence of ligand and can be tyrosine phosphorylated in the absence of dimerization (Furitsu et al, 1993; Hirota et al, 1998; Tsujimura et al, 1994).
