Protein Domain : Epidermal growth factor receptor, juxtamembrane domain

Primary Identifier  IPR044912 Type  Homologous_superfamily
Short Name  Egfr_JX_dom
description  Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are transmembrane receptors thathave intrinsic, cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase activity. Juxtamembrane regions in RTKs have been shown to play important regulatory functions. Their kinase activity is generally autoinhibited by its JX domain in the absence of ligand-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation, due to the inhibitory Tyr phosphorylation sites found in the JX domain []. This superfamily represents the JX domain of the EGF receptor [].
