Name	EML4-ALK
Primary ID	SIGNOR-FP8
Type	Fusion Protein
Formed by	Q9HC35, Q9UM73
Description	Fusion between EML4 (echinoderm microtubule associated protein-like 4), a microtubule-associated protein, and ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase), a tyrosine kinase receptor belonging to the insulin receptor superfamily, was the first oncogenic fusion to be detected in lung cancer. Fusion of EML4 to the kinase domain of ALK results in abnormal signalling and consequently increased cell growth, proliferation, and cell survival...The translocation occurs through a paracentric inversion between EML4 and ALK genes located in the short arm of chromosome 2. To date, at least 15 EML4-ALK variants have been identified with some variants being expressed as multiple isoforms. All variants contain the entire intracellular kinase domain of ALK, encoded by exons 20 through to 29, but differ in the point of fusion with the EML4 gene. (PMID:28872581)
