**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein

**Definition:** A fusion protein (680 aa, ~75 kDa) that is encoded by the A2M/ALK fusion gene. This protein contains the N-terminus of the alpha-2-macroglobulin protein, including the bait region, and the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of the ALK tyrosine kinase receptor protein, including the tyrosine kinase domain.

**Synonyms:** - A2M-ALK Fusion Protein - A2M::ALK Fusion Protein - Alpha-2-Macroglobulin/ALK Tyrosine Kinase Receptor Fusion Protein - Alpha-2-Macroglobulin::ALK Tyrosine Kinase Receptor Fusion Protein
