MST1R
Overview
Macrophage stimulating 1 receptor (MST1R) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions as a tyrosine kinase receptor for macrophage-stimulating protein. Apart from functioning as a receptor, the protein may also be involved in host defense. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions and insertions are observed in cancers such as intestinal cancer, skin cancer, and stomach cancer.
MST1R is altered in 1.62% of all cancers with colon adenocarcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, lung adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, and endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
The most common alterations in MST1R are MST1R Mutation (1.28%), MST1R Loss (0.21%), MST1R R1178W (0.02%), MST1R R322W (0.02%), and MST1R A225T (0.01%) [3].
