Gene Variant Descriptions | KIT D820Y lies within the protein kinase domain of the Kit protein (UniProt.org). D820Y results in constitutive phosphorylation of Kit and is transforming in cell culture (PMID: 19035443, PMID: 11984533), and has also been identified as a secondary drug mutation associated with imatinib resistance (PMID: 18488160). |
