NCIt definition : A synthetic, 20-base antisense oligodeoxynucleotide that hybridizes to c-raf kinase
messenger RNA. ISIS 5132 has been shown to specifically suppress Raf-1 expression
both in vitro and in vivo. Raf-1 serine/threonine kinase functions as a critical effector
of Ras-mediated signal transduction; constitutive activation of this pathway directly
contributes to malignant transformation. (NCI04);
