Default Re: Tyrokinase Inhibitors

Hi Stephanie,

This article talks about EGFR and tyrosine kinase:
http://www.expert-reviews.com/doi/abs/10.1586/14737140.4.1.5

I think the tyrokinase is another way to write tyrosine kinase.
Reference #18 at the end of this article uses tyrokinase in the same context as tyrosine kinase:
http://clincancerres.aacrjournals.org/cgi/reprint/10/12/4233S

The tyrosine kinase has a very different function than the tyrosinase:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrosine_kinase

I think the translation should be tirosina quinasa or tirosina kinasa.
See the last 2 parragraphs in this page:

This is a long answer, but I hope it helps.
