(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6259
Official gene symbolRYK
Full nameRYK receptor-like tyrosine kinase
Aliases,D3S3195,JTK5,JTK5A,RYK1,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is an atypical member of the family of growth factor receptor protein tyrosine kinases, differing from other members at a number of conserved residues in the activation and nucleotide binding domains. This gene product belongs to a subfamily whose members do not appear to be regulated by phosphorylation in the activation segment. It has been suggested that mediation of biological activity by recruitment of a signaling-competent auxiliary protein may occur through an as yet uncharacterized mechanism. Two alternative splice variants have been identified, encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
