Also known as RAKGTK

Summary

FRK (fyn related Src family tyrosine kinase, HGNC:3955) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6q22.1, encoding Tyrosine-protein kinase FRK (P42685). Non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase that negatively regulates cell proliferation.

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the TYR family of protein kinases. This tyrosine kinase is a nuclear protein and may function during G1 and S phase of the cell cycle and suppress growth.

The matched accessions’ gene symbols aren’t in biobtree yet, so each row shows the UniProt accession.

Genomic neighbors (locus context)

Genes flanking this one on the chromosome (NCBI/Entrez gene neighborhood). Positional context only — some neighbors share regulatory elements (bidirectional promoters, antisense/overlapping transcripts), but chromosomal adjacency is not itself a functional relationship (see Interactions for that).

Protein

Protein identifiers

Tyrosine-protein kinase FRK — P42685 (reviewed: P42685)

Alternative names: FYN-related kinase, Nuclear tyrosine protein kinase RAK, Protein-tyrosine kinase 5

All UniProt accessions (1): P42685

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase that negatively regulates cell proliferation. Positively regulates PTEN protein stability through phosphorylation of PTEN on ‘Tyr-336’, which in turn prevents its ubiquitination and degradation, possibly by reducing its binding to NEDD4. May function as a tumor suppressor.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts (via the SH3-domain) with PTEN. Interacts with RB1.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.

Tissue specificity. Predominantly expressed in epithelial derived cell lines and tissues, especially normal liver, kidney, breast and colon.

Similarity. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. SRC subfamily.
