Facts about Leukocyte tyrosine kinase receptor.
Studies with chimeric proteins (substituting its extracellular region with that of several known growth factor receptors, such as EGFR and CSFIR) demonstrate its ability to promote growth and specifically neurite outgrowth, and cell survival. Signaling appears to involve the PI3 kinase pathway.
