PTK7 protein tyrosine kinase 7 (inactive)

Gene ID: 5754, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CCK4; CCK-4

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the receptor protein tyrosine kinase family of proteins that transduce extracellular signals across the cell membrane. The encoded protein lacks detectable catalytic tyrosine kinase activity, is involved in the Wnt signaling pathway and plays a role in multiple cellular processes including polarity and adhesion. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
