FLT3
FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is a tyrosine kinase that is expressed by early hematopoietic progenitor cells, including some CD34+ cells.1,2 Binding to FLT3 ligand activates multiple cell signaling pathways, including proliferation and survival.2
FLT3 is highly expressed in leukemic blast cells in >70% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which suggests that FLT3 plays a role in the survival and proliferation of leukemic blast cells.1,3
