Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (RTK)

RTK
Targets & Receptors

A class of transmembrane receptors with intrinsic kinase activity that phosphorylate tyrosine residues upon ligand binding. RTKs activate downstream signaling cascades including RAS-MAPK, PI3K-AKT, and JAK-STAT pathways. They are frequently dysregulated in cancers and represent major targets for oncology drugs.

  • HER2 targeted by trastuzumab (breast cancer)
  • VEGFR targeted by sunitinib (renal cell carcinoma)
