Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase binding activity; transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity; and virus receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including platelet aggregation; positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and regulation of defense response. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading; and vagina development. Predicted to be located in cell surface; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and nuclear envelope. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; limb; and sensory organ. Used to study autoimmune disease. Orthologous to human TYRO3 (TYRO3 protein tyrosine kinase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice are phenotypically normal, however in conjunction with mutations in other related receptor tyrosine kinases, mutations of this gene results in fertility defects, autoimmunity, and aberrant apoptosis.
