Target intelligence / Profile preview

ROS proto-oncogene 1 receptor tyrosine kinase (ROS1)

Target
ROS1
Molecular classification
Receptor Tyrosine Kinase, Type I integral membrane protein
01

Overview

ROS1 is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in cell growth and differentiation. Somatic chromosomal rearrangements involving ROS1 result in fusion proteins that drive oncogenesis in various cancers, particularly NSCLC. Inhibitors like crizotinib and lorlatinib target aberrant ROS1 activity, but resistance mutations can emerge, necessitating the development of next-generation inhibitors.
