Secondary Information | |
| Presence in other biological fluids/tissue/cells | widely expressed in hematopoietic cells |
| Protein Function | Cytoplasmic non-receptor protein-tyrosine kinase; catalyzes the phosphorylation of proteins on tyrosines located at sites rich with acidic amino acids; plays an important role in signal transduction in a variety of cell types; pathogenic role of Syk in various allergic disorders, autoimmune diseases and malignancies; involved in coupling activated immunoreceptors to downstream signaling events that mediate cellular proliferation, differentiation and phagocytosis |
| Biochemical Properties | Contains a pair of Src homology 2 (SH2) domains at the N-terminus and a carboxy terminal tyrosine kinase domain; in inactive form, Syk assumes a closed, autoinhibited structure with the aromatic residues in interdomain A, B and the kinase domain interact to form a ‘linkerkinase sandwich’ |
| Significance in milk | regulates mammary epithelial cell proliferation in mammary glands of dairy cows |
