RET (rearranged during transfection) is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the development of neural crest derived cell lineages, kidney, and male germ cells. Different human cancers, including papillary and medullary thyroid carcinomas, lung adenocarcinomas, and myeloproliferative disorders display gain-of-function mutations in RET. Accordingly, RET protein has become a promising molecular target for cancer treatment.
RET(转染重排)是一种受体酪氨酸激酶,参与神经嵴衍生细胞谱系、肾脏和男性生殖细胞的发育。不同的人类癌症,包括甲状腺乳头状癌和髓样癌、肺腺癌和骨髓增生性疾病,都显示出 RET 的功能获得性突变。因此,RET 蛋白已成为癌症治疗有前途的分子靶标。
