NCIt synonyms : EML4-ALK Fusion Protein Variant 4; Fusion Protein EML4-ALK Variant 4; Echinoderm Microtubule-Associated Protein-Like 4/ALK Tyrosine Kinase Receptor Fusion
Protein Variant 4; EML4::ALK Fusion Protein Variant 4;
NCIt definition : A fusion protein (1097 aa, 121 kDa) that is encoded by the EML4/ALK variant 4 fusion
gene. This protein is comprised of the N-terminal half of the echinoderm microtubule-associated
protein-like 4 fused to the entire cytoplasmic domain of the ALK tyrosine kinase receptor
protein including the tyrosine kinase domain.;
NCIt note : The EML4/ALK fusion protein variant 4 is a constitutively dimerized and activated
tyrosine kinase.;
