Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - Braf is a serine/threonine kinase that is highly expressed in various cell types. - It is a key regulator of cell cycle progression and proliferation. - Braf mutations are found in approximately 20% of human cancers. **Pathways and functions:** - Braf is a key regulator of the MAPK signaling pathway, which is involved in cell growth, differentiation, and survival. - It is also a key regulator of the Ras signaling pathway, which is involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. - Braf mutations can disrupt the MAPK and Ras signaling pathways, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and cancer. **Clinical significance:** - Mutations in the BRAF gene are associated with a variety of human cancers, including lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, and melanoma. - Targeting BRAF with small molecule inhibitors is a promising therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment. **Additional notes:** - Braf is a kinase that is often activated by phosphorylation by MAPK kinases. - It is a key regulator of cell growth and survival through its effects on the MAPK and Ras signaling pathways. - Mutations in BRAF are a common genetic alteration in cancer cells, and they can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and cancer development.
