The layout of this reaction may differ from that in the pathway view due to the constraints in pathway layout
After partner protein-mediated dimerization, ALK fusions are trans-autophosphorylated by the ALK kinase domain, leading to constitutive activation and downstream signaling (reviewed in Roskoski, 2013; Hallberg and Palmer, 2016; Della Corte et al, 2018).
