Introduction
The B-RAF Protein belongs to a large family of protein kinases that have a very important role on different aspects of cellular biology and biomedical sciences. The human protein kinase family consists of 518 genes, making it one of the largest gene families. Based upon the phosphorylation of the hydroxyl group these proteins are classified on 3 groups: protein serine threonine kinase (385 members), protein tyrosine kinase (90 members) and tyrosine kinase like proteins (43 members). A-RAF, B-RAF and C-RAF proteins are a family of serine threonine kinase proteins that participate in the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signal transduction cascade. The general reaction they catalyse is:
