Recepteur d’Origine Nantais proto-oncogene Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (RON)

Target
RON
Molecular classification
Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), MET proto-oncogene family
01

Overview

Recepteur d’Origine Nantais (RON) is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) belonging to the MET proto-oncogene family. It is activated by macrophage-stimulating protein (MSP) and plays a crucial role in cell growth, survival, migration, and inflammation. Aberrant RON activation is implicated in various cancers, making it a potential therapeutic target. Splice variants of RON, such as RONΔ165 and RONΔ160, can exhibit constitutive activity and contribute to tumor progression.
