Mst1r

This gene encodes a precursor protein that is proteolytically cleaved to yield an alpha chain and a beta chain which form a membrane-spanning heterodimer. The encoded protein belongs to a family of cell-surface receptor tyrosine kinases involved in signaling from the cell surface to the intracellular environment. The binding of the encoded protein to its ligand, macrophage-stimulating protein, mediates several biological activities including wound healing, tumor immunity, macrophage activation and hematopoiesis as well as cell growth, motility, survival and adhesion. The protein encoded by this gene also functions in early development and the macrophage-mediated inflammatory response. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

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 Mst1r often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
