Preferred Label : EML4/ALK Fusion Protein Variant 3a;
NCIt synonyms : Fusion Protein EML4-ALK Variant 3 Splicing Isoform a; EML4-ALK Fusion Protein Variant 3a; Echinoderm Microtubule-Associated Protein-Like 4/ALK Tyrosine Kinase Receptor Fusion
Protein Variant 3a; EML4::ALK Fusion Protein Variant 3a;
NCIt definition : A fusion protein (785 aa, 86 kDa) that is encoded by the EML4/ALK variant 3a fusion
gene. This protein contains the amino acids encoded by exons 1-6a of the echinoderm
microtubule-associated protein-like 4 and the entire cytoplasmic region of the ALK
tyrosine kinase receptor protein including the tyrosine kinase domain.;
NCIt note : The EML4/ALK fusion protein variant 3a is a constitutively dimerized and activated
tyrosine kinase.;
