Gene: AATK

Alternate names for this Gene: AATYK|AATYK1|LMR1|LMTK1|PPP1R77|p35BP

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene contains a tyrosine kinase domain at the N-terminus and a proline-rich domain at the C-terminus. This gene is induced during apoptosis, and expression of this gene may be a necessary pre-requisite for the induction of growth arrest and/or apoptosis of myeloid precursor cells. This gene has been shown to produce neuronal differentiation in a neuroblastoma cell line. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q25.3

Description of this Gene: apoptosis associated tyrosine kinase

Type of Gene: protein-coding
