B-Raf (V599E), active
N-terminal GST-tagged recombinant, human B-Raf amino acids 416-end, containing a V599E mutation (also designated V600E).
Biological information
Background
B-RAF plays a role in regulating the MAP kinase/ERK signaling pathway, which affects cell division, differentiation, and secretion. Mutations in this gene, most commonly the V600E mutation, are the most frequently identified cancer-causing mutations in melanoma, and have been identified in various other cancers as well, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma, colorectal cancer, thyroid carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, hairy cell leukemia and adenocarcinoma of lung. Mutations in this gene are also associated with cardiofaciocutaneous, Noonan, and Costello syndromes, which exhibit overlapping phenotypes.
GenBank NM_004333. The V599E mutation is thought to mimic phosphorylation of the native enzyme, resulting in a protein with high activity and leading to constitutive ERK activation. As B-Raf is commonly activated by somatic point mutation in human cancer, it may provide a new therapeutic approach to malignant melanoma.
