Dok4 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Acts upstream of or within cell surface receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway; nervous system development; and positive regulation of MAPK cascade. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; heart; retina; and spleen primordium. Orthologous to human DOK4 (docking protein 4).

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 Dok4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • PTB domain (IRS-1 type)
  • PH domain
  • protein binding
  • phosphotyrosine binding domain
  • Pleckstrin homology-like domain
