Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables protein kinase activity and protein phosphatase 1 binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherin; and negative regulation of mast cell activation involved in immune response. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within cell adhesion; chemotaxis; and signal transduction. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including adherens junction; cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane; and cytosol. Predicted to be part of chromatin. Predicted to colocalize with cell junction; cytoskeleton; and lamellipodium. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human FER (FER tyrosine kinase).
