Gene Symbol ALK
Synonyms ALK1 | CD246 | NBLST3
Gene Description ALK, anaplastic lymphoma kinase, is a receptor in the insulin receptor superfamily and is a key regulator of neuronal development (PMID: 21502284) and also promotes cell proliferation through activation of MAPK and PI3K signaling pathways (PMID: 27573755). Alk activating mutations, rearrangements, and fusions have been identified in various cancers (PMID: 22649787), including EML4-ALK in non-small cell lung cancer (PMID: 30108712, PMID: 30194140), and a number of mutations confer resistance in the context of Alk fusions (PMID: 25749034, PMID: 21948233).

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Spaces will be interpreted literally in the search. Use the percentage character '%' as a wildcard to search for multiple values
  • When searching for values delimited by '%', searches are ordered by their appearance in the text. (i.e. 'A%C' will likely return different results than 'C%A')
  • Precede text with a caret '^' to indicate search should "start with" the text
  • Follow text with a dollar sign '$' to indicate search should "end with" the preceding text

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
