Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables protein phosphatase binding activity and protein tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in columnar/cuboidal epithelial cell development; regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; and spermatogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including gene expression; negative regulation of gene expression; and regulation of phosphate transport. Located in cell surface and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; intestine; lung; stomach; and trunk. Orthologous to human ROS1 (ROS proto-oncogene 1, receptor tyrosine kinase).
