Gene:
leukocyte tyrosine kinase
Gene ID:
190451
Symbol:
LTK
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the ros/insulin receptor family of tyrosine kinases. Tyrosine-specific phosphorylation of proteins is a key to the control of diverse pathways leading to cell growth and differentiation. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
