Gene information for PTK6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5753
Official gene symbolPTK6
Full namePTK6 protein tyrosine kinase 6
Aliases,BRK,FLJ42088,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic nonreceptor protein kinase which may function as an intracellular signal transducer in epithelial tissues. Overexpression of this gene in mammary epithelial cells leads to sensitization of the cells to epidermal growth factor and results in a partially transformed phenotype. Expression of this gene has been detected at low levels in some breast tumors but not in normal breast tissue. The encoded protein has been shown to undergo autophosphorylation. [provided by RefSeq]
