Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables several functions, including connexin binding activity; ephrin receptor binding activity; and scaffold protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including bone resorption; interleukin-6-mediated signaling pathway; and positive regulation of signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to platelet-derived growth factor stimulus; positive regulation of protein metabolic process; and regulation of signal transduction. Located in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; focal adhesion; and ruffle membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; gut; and retina. Used to study Williams-Beuren syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer (multiple); ductal carcinoma in situ; prostate cancer; thrombocytopenia; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human SRC (SRC proto-oncogene, non-receptor tyrosine kinase).
