Full name: FER tyrosine kinase

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: PPP1R74; TYK3; p94-Fer

Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the FPS/FES family of non-transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases. It regulates cell-cell adhesion and mediates signaling from the cell surface to the cytoskeleton via growth factor receptors. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
