c-MET is a receptor tyrosine kinase abnormally activated in many cancer types, such as renal, liver, head and neck, gastroesophageal, breast, and lung cancer (Reis et al., 2018), and activates several intracellular signaling pathways including RAS-MAPK, PI3K-AKT, RAC1, and PAK to promote the progression of cancers (Graveel et al., 2013). The gene discussed is AKT1; the disease is cancer.
