Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are cell membrane proteins that provide cells with the ability to sense proteins in their environments. Many RTKs are essential to development and organ growth. Derangement of RTKs—by mutation or by overexpression—is central to several developmental and adult disorders including cancer, short stature, and vascular pathologies.
RNA processing has emerged as a key mechanistic step in the regulation of the cellular response to environmental perturbation.
