David B. Solit, MD, Elizabeth and Felix Rohatyn Chair for Junior Faculty, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, discusses B-Raf, an intracellular signaling protein.B-Raf is commonly mutated in cancer, and about 8% of all human cancers have B-Raf mutation. This in turn makes the cells grow abnormally and it is most commonly found in melanoma. There are now companies trying to develop inhibitors of B-Raf.
