c-Met is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in embryogenesis, wound healing, and tissue regeneration. Abnormal activation of the MET signaling pathway promotes the growth, survival, migration and invasion of tumor…
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) also known as CD332 (cluster of differentiation 332) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGFR2 gene residing on chromosome 10.…
The EGFR family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) comprises four distinct receptors: the EGFR (also known as ErbB-1/HER1), ErbB-2 (neu, HER2), ErbB-3 (HER3) and ErbB-4 (HER4). These structurally related receptors…
MY-943 is a potent tubulin polymerization and LSD1 inhibitor with anticancer activity. Tubulin in molecular biology can refer either to the tubulin protein superfamily of globular proteins, or one of…
STAT3 is a key oncogene whose overactivation leads to cancer. As a transcription factor, it exhibits dual functions of signal transduction and transcriptional activation. Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor usually inhibited…
c-Met is a unique subfamily member of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) behaving as the receptor of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/scatter factor (SF). The HGF/c-Met signaling pathway plays important roles in…
c-Met (hepatocyte growth factor receptor, HGFR) is a type of receptor tyrosine kinase which belongs to the MET family. c-Met exsists in the surfaces of various epithelial cells. Hepatocyte growth…
Bcl-2 protein family is a key regulator of apoptosis and a marker of B-cell lymphoma. Importantly, apoptosis is an important physiological process of selective cell clearance, involving a variety of…
In this article, we will introduce an orally bioavailable, ATP-competitive ALK and c-Met inhibitor, Crizotinib. The IC50 values for ALK and c-Met kinases are 20 and 8 nM, respectively. Additionally, in cell-based assays, Crizotinib…
Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma 2) is a family of evolutionarily related proteins. These proteins govern mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) and can be either pro-apoptotic (Bax, Bad, Bak and Bok among…
