Commonly referred to as NPM-ALK this chimeric protein exhibits a molecular mass of approximately 80 kDa. It expresses mainly in hematopoietic tissues and various tumors. NPM-ALK retains the oligomerization domain of NPM1 and the kinase domain of ALK leading to constitutive activation of the ALK signaling pathway.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe NPM\/ALK fusion protein alters cellular proliferation and survival through oncogenic signaling. The protein does not function alone but forms complexes within cells effectively hijacking normal cellular mechanisms. NPM-ALK cooperates with several signaling molecules including STAT3 and PI3K to promote unchecked cellular growth. This partnership modifies downstream signaling events fostering an environment conducive to malignancy.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nNPM\/ALK activates several key signal transduction pathways. Particularly it plays important roles in the JAK\/STAT and PI3K\/AKT pathways. Through these pathways the fusion protein engages with STAT3 and AKT catalyzing alterations in gene expression related to cell cycle progression and apoptosis inhibition. These interactions contribute to its oncogenic potential and the pathophysiology of related conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\nNPM\/ALK is intimately associated with anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and other hematological malignancies. The inappropriate expression and activity of NPM-ALK disrupts normal cellular functions leading to oncogenesis. This relation extends to its involvement with proteins like STAT3 and others in related pathways enhancing tumor development and progression in ALCL. Therefore understanding NPM-ALK's role provides valuable insight into targeted therapeutic strategies for treating related malignancies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850389835945,"sku":"ab180607","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab180607","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
