Expression of ron tyrosin kinase receptor on breast cancer cell lines

RON receptor is one member of the MET family of receptor tyrosine kinases. When it is activated by its own ligand, macrophage stimulating protein (MSP), RON initiates a downstream signaling pathways which result of some function in the cell such as dissociation, migration, and invasion. Several RON...
