Protein-tyrosine kinase 6 (PTK6)

Non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase implicated in the regulation of a variety of signaling pathways that control the differentiation and maintenance of normal epithelia, as well as tumor growth. Function seems to be context dependent and differ depending on cell type, as well as its intracellular localization.

A number of potential nuclear and cytoplasmic substrates have been identified. Associates also with a variety of proteins which are likely upstream of PTK6 in various signaling pathways, or for which PTK6 can play an adapter-like role.
