Cancer: Enzymes play molecular tag
Deborah K. Morrison1
Abstract
The B-RAF protein is often mutated in human cancers, contributing to their development. Although most known mutations stimulate its catalytic activity, others, surprisingly, impair it — yet still cause cancer.
Like most other cellular events, cell proliferation is tightly regulated by signals from the surrounding environment. These cues are relayed from the cell surface to the nucleus by defined signal-transduction cascades.
