Target Information

Several serine/threonine protein kinases have been implicated as intermediates in signal transduction pathways. These include ERK/MAP kinases, ribosomal S6 kinase (Rsk), and Raf-1. Raf-1 is a cytoplasmic protein with intrinsic serine/threonine activity and is broadly expressed in nearly all cell lines tested to date. It is the cellular homolog of v-Raf, the product of the transforming gene of the 3611 strain of murine sarcoma virus.

The unregulated kinase activity of the v-Raf protein has been associated with transformation and mitogenesis, while the activity of Raf-1 is normally suppressed by a regulatory N-terminal domain. A-Raf, a second member of the Raf gene family of serine/threonine protein kinases, exhibits substantial homology to Raf-1 within the kinase domain of the two molecules, but less homology elsewhere. Expression of A-Raf is found at highest levels in urogenital tissues and kidney and at lowest levels in brain tissue.
