Abstract

Protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) play prominent roles in the regulation of fundamental biological processes including normal cell growth and survival, cell differentiation, and development. Across vertebrate and invertebrate species, both nonreceptor (cytoplasmic) and receptor (transmembrane) type PTKs have been identified, making them one of the most extensively examined family of proteins. Currently, genes encoding at least 50 receptor and 33 nonreceptor vertebrate PTKs have been cloned (1,2), several by techniques that exploit the structural and functional conservation of the kinase catalytic domain.
