NCIt synonyms : ALKATI; Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Alternative Transcription Initiation Protein; CD246 Alternative Transcription Initiation Protein; Anaplastic Lymphoma Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Alternative Transcription Initiation
Protein; ALK ATI; ALK(ATI); CD246 Antigen Alternative Transcription Initiation Protein; ALK Alternative Transcription Initiation Protein; ALK Intron 19 ATI Isoform Protein; ALK-ATI;
NCIt definition : ALKATI protein ( 60 kDa) is encoded by the ALKATI allele of the human ALK gene. This
protein is involved in tyrosine phosphorylation, signal transduction and tumorigenesis.;
NCIt note : There are three in-frame start codons in intron 19 of the ALK gene and all three encode
proteins of 60 kDa that each contain the intracellular tyrosine kinase domain, but
lack the extracellular and transmembrane domains of the ALK tyrosine kinase receptor
protein. (Nature. 2015; 526:453-457.);
