Frk Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation; cell surface receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human FRK (fyn related Src family tyrosine kinase).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Frk often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
