Gene KIT
Variant V654A
Impact List missense
Protein Effect unknown
Gene Variant Descriptions KIT V654A lies within the protein kinase domain (exon 13) of the Kit protein (UniProt.org). V654A has been described as a secondary drug resistance mutation (PMID: 17363509, PMID: 16751810), but has conflicting functional data, as in some studies, results in increased proliferation in cultured cells and in murine cells (corresponding to V653A), leads to increased proliferation and elevated Stat activation in the context of KIT V559del (corresponding to V558del in mouse) in culture (PMID: 33024275), is constitutively phosphorylated in culture (PMID: 27440273), but in another study is not transforming and does not result in constitutive activation (PMID: 17363509), and therefore, its effect on Kit protein function is unknown.

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
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

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.
