Abstract:Background
AML is a rare hematological malignancy still associated with poor prognosis. 5% of de novo AML and 30% of core binding factor (CBF) AML (translocation t(8;21)(q22;q22) or invasion (16)(p13;q22)), respectively, harbor activating c-Kit (CD117) mutations leading to an adverse clinical outcome. Posttranslational protein modifications, especially by myristolic and palmitic acid, are known to be important for diverse cell functions such as membrane organization, transduction signaling or regulation of ap… Show more
