Tyrosine-protein kinase Fer (FER)

Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts downstream of cell surface receptors for growth factors and plays a role in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, microtubule assembly, lamellipodia formation, cell adhesion, cell migration and chemotaxis. Acts downstream of EGFR, KIT, PDGFRA and PDGFRB.

Acts downstream of EGFR to promote regeneration of NF-kappa-B and cell proliferation. May play a role in the regulation of the mitotic cell cycle.
