Ptk6 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to retinoic acid; negative regulation of protein tyrosine kinase activity; and protein phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nuclear body; and ruffle. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human PTK6 (protein tyrosine kinase 6).

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 rat Ptk6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
