Difference between BRAF (gene) and MEK inhibitor

BRAF (gene) vs. MEK inhibitor

BRAF is a human gene that encodes a protein called B-Raf. A MEK inhibitor is a chemical or drug that inhibits the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase enzymes MEK1 and/or MEK2.

Similarities between BRAF (gene) and MEK inhibitor

BRAF (gene) and MEK inhibitor have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): BRAF (gene), Colorectal cancer, Dabrafenib, MAPK/ERK pathway, Melanoma, Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase, Non-small-cell lung carcinoma, Vemurafenib.
