Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein kinase activity and protein phosphatase 1 binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherin; and negative regulation of mast cell activation involved in immune response. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell adhesion; chemotaxis; and protein autophosphorylation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including adherens junction; chromatin; and cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Predicted to colocalize with cell junction; cytoskeleton; and lamellipodium. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human FER (FER tyrosine kinase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted mutation exhibit elevated lipopolysaccharide-induced leukocyte adhesion and migration. Mutant cells also exhibit reduced phosphorylation of cortactin. [provided by MGI curators] |
