Gene:
apoptosis-associated tyrosine kinase
Gene ID:
196172
Symbol:
AATK
Species:
1000
Description:
AATK is a novel gene which is induced during apoptosis. It encodes a protein with a tyrosine kinase domain at the N-terminal end and a proline-rich domain at the C-terminal end. AATK expression may be a necessary pre-requisite for the induction of growth arrest and/or apoptosis of myeloid precursor cells
