TYRO3 TYRO3 protein tyrosine kinase

Gene ID: 7301, updated on 18-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: BYK; Dtk; RSE; Rek; Sky; Tif; Etk-2

Summary

The gene is part of a 3-member transmembrane receptor kinase receptor family with a processed pseudogene distal on chromosome 15. The encoded protein is activated by the products of the growth arrest-specific gene 6 and protein S genes and is involved in controlling cell survival and proliferation, spermatogenesis, immunoregulation and phagocytosis. The encoded protein has also been identified as a cell entry factor for Ebola and Marburg viruses. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
