Facts about Tyrosine-protein kinase RYK.
May be a coreceptor along with FZD8 of Wnt proteins, such as WNT1, WNT3, WNT3A and WNT5A.
Involved in neuron differentiation, axon guidance, corpus callosum establishment and neurite outgrowth.In response to WNT3 stimulation, receptor C- terminal cleavage occurs in its transmembrane region and allows the C-terminal intracellular product to translocate from the cytoplasm into the nucleus where it plays a vital role in neuronal development. .
