MET Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor BMS-777607NCIt concept
Preferred Label : MET Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor BMS-777607;
NCIt related terms : BMS-777607;
NCIt definition : An inhibitor of MET tyrosine kinase with potential antineoplastic activity. MET tyrosine
kinase inhibitor BMS-777607 binds to c-Met protein, or hepatocyte growth factor receptor
(HGFR), preventing binding of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and disrupting the MET
signaling pathway; this agent may induce cell death in tumor cells expressing c-Met.
c-Met, a receptor tyrosine kinase overexpressed or mutated in many tumor cell types,
plays an important role in tumor cell proliferation, survival, invasion, and metastasis,
and in tumor angiogenesis.;
