Gene Variant Descriptions | KIT W557_K558del results in the deletion of 2 amino acids in the juxtamembrane domain (exon 11) of the Kit protein from amino acids 557 to 558 (PMID: 12918066). W557_K558del results in constitutive activation of Kit and increased Erk phosphorylation, and leads to increased invasiveness and expression of ETV1 in cell culture (PMID: 25239608, PMID: 26936919). |
