CARS/ALK Fusion Protein

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

**Definition:** A fusion protein (680 aa, ~75 kDa) that is encoded by the CARS/ALK fusion gene. This protein contains 606 amino acids from the N-terminus of the cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase, cytoplasmic protein and the cytoplasmic domain of the ALK tyrosine kinase receptor protein.

**Synonyms:** - CARS-ALK Fusion Protein - CARS1::ALK Fusion Protein - CARS::ALK Fusion Protein - Cysteinyl--tRNA Synthetase, Cytoplasmic/ALK Tyrosine Kinase Receptor Fusion Protein - Cysteinyl-tRNA Synthetase, Cytoplasmic/ALK Tyrosine Kinase Receptor Fusion Protein - Cysteinyl-tRNA Synthetase, Cytoplasmic::ALK Tyrosine Kinase Receptor Fusion Protein
