“…Although information on signal transduction downstream of the MEN2A mutated RET (MEN2A-RET) receptor is still limited, it has been demonstrated that several tyrosine residues are autophosphorylated in MEN2A-RET, including tyr905, tyr1015, tyr1062 and tyr1096 which serve as docking sites for Grb7/Grb10/ Grb14, phospholipase Cg, Shc/Enigma or FRS2, and Grb2, respectively (Borrello et al, 1996;Paratcha et al, 2001;Kurokawa et al, 2001;Durick et al, 1996;Liu et al, 1996;Pandey et al, 1996;Arighi et al, 1997;Lorenzo et al, 1997;Alberti et al, 1998). Consequently, the Ras/ERK, JNK and PI-3K signal transduction pathways are activated by MEN2A-RET.…”
