ROS1
Overview
ROS1 (ROS proto-oncogene 1, receptor tyrosine kinase) is a gene that encodes the proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase ROS protein, a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) of the insulin receptor family. ROS1 fusions have been described in glioblastoma (PMID: 2827175; PMID: 2352949; PMID: 12661006), non-small cell lung cancer (PMID: 18083107), and cholangiocarcinoma (PMID: 21253578). ROS1 fusions containing an intact tyrosine kinase domain possess oncogenic activity (PMID: 12661006; PMID: 18083107). Signaling downstream of ROS1 fusions results in activation of cellular pathways known to be involved in cell growth and cell proliferation.
