NCIt definition : Human CRKL wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 22q11.21 and is approximately
36 kb in length. This allele, which encodes Crk-like protein, is involved in signal
transduction. The CRKL gene is overexpressed in certain types of cancer such as breast,
colon, lung, ovarian and skin cancer.;
NCIt note : The CRKL gene plays a role in the activation of both RAS and JUN kinase signaling
pathways. It is also involved in the malignant transformation of fibroblasts by the
BCR-ABL oncogene. The CRKL gene has oncogenic potential.;
