Scientific Background: A-Raf (RafA) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the TKL group and Raf family. It is involved in the transduction of mitogenic signals from the cell membrane receptors via Ras and MEK1/2 to the nucleus. It has been implicated in playing a role in the postsynaptic responses of hippocampal neuron. Phosphorylation of S214, S257, S262, S264, Y301, Y302, S432, T442, T452, T455 and S582 increases phosphotransferase activity. It is inhibited by Nexavar/Sorafenib (IC50>50 nM). A-Raf may be an oncoprotein (OP) based on its similarity to Raf1 and B-Raf. However, it does not display a higher than normal rate of mutation than most proteins in human tumours. The active form of the protein kinase acts to promote tumour cell proliferation.
