Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable receptor signaling protein tyrosine kinase activator activity and transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to retinoic acid; positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within phosphorylation. Located in membrane. Is expressed in brain; cornea; and enteric nervous system. Orthologous to human LTK (leukocyte receptor tyrosine kinase).
