Short Name | Tyr_kinase_rcpt_ROR |
description | The Ror family of receptor tyrosine kinases consists of two structurally related proteins, Ror1 and Ror2. Ror1 is a pseudokinase that acts as a substrate for the oncogenic tyrosine kinase Met []. It is expressed during development []. It shows no significant expression in normal adult tissues, but it is selectively overexpressed in a number of malignancies []. Ror2 functions as a Wnt receptor required to maintain basal NMDAR-mediated synaptic transmission []. For a time its ligand remained elusive, hence the name receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor-2 (Ror2). It is now established that Wnt5A acts a ligand for Ror2 []. |
