Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase binding activity; transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity; and virus receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; platelet aggregation; and regulation of defense response. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading. Predicted to be located in cell surface; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and nuclear envelope. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; limb; and sensory organ. Used to study autoimmune disease. Orthologous to human TYRO3 (TYRO3 protein tyrosine kinase).
