NCIt synonyms : ELKS/Rab6-Interacting/CAST Family Member 1/Proto-Oncogene Tyrosine-Protein Kinase
Receptor Ret Fusion Protein; ELKS/RET Fusion Protein; ELKS-RET Fusion Protein; ERC1-RET Fusion Protein; ERC1::RET Fusion Protein;
NCIt definition : A fusion protein encoded by the ERC1/RET fusion gene. This protein is comprised of
the N-terminal half of the ELKS/Rab6-interacting/CAST family member 1 protein, including
the coiled-coil domain, fused with most of the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of the
proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase receptor Ret protein, including the tyrosine
kinase domain.;
NCIt note : The ERC1/RET fusion protein is a constitutively dimerized and activated tyrosine kinase.;
