Regulation of the c-Abl and Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinases

Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol. 2004 Jan;5(1):33-44. doi: 10.1038/nrm1280.

Abstract

The prototypic non-receptor tyrosine kinase c-Abl is implicated in various cellular processes. Its oncogenic counterpart, the Bcr-Abl fusion protein, causes certain human leukaemias. Recent insights into the structure and regulation of the c-Abl and Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinases have changed the way we look at these enzymes.
