FLT3

ALIASES

Cluster of differentiation antigen 135; CD135; fms like tyrosine kinase 3; receptor-type tyrosine-protein kinase FLT3; fetal liver kinase-2

FLT-3 is a receptor tyrosine kinase that activates pathways leading to the proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of hematopoietic cells.1,2 FLT3-ITD mutations and FLT3-TKD mutations can lead to the production of FLT-3 ligands resulting in the activation of FLT-3 and subsequently triggers PI3K and RAS signaling pathways.3
