Excerpt
C35 is a protein overexpressed in invasive breast cancer. The C35 gene is located on chromosome 17, next to ERBB2/HER2. C35 encodes a canonical immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) sequence. ITAM-containing proteins have key signalling roles in the hematopoietic system and in oncogenic retroviruses. The ITAM interacts with Syk kinase, which mediates downstream signalling events. …
