Scope and Contents

Contents

Hypoactive BRAF mutants bind more tightly than wild type to the upstream regulator RAS, thus amplifying to amplify ERK signalling; tumours expressing these mutants require coexistent mechanisms for RAS activation to grow and are sensitive to their inhibition.
Inactive BRAF mutants in cancer
Mutant alleles of the kinase BRAF have been identifi...
