Summary

MATK (megakaryocyte-associated tyrosine kinase, HGNC:6906) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19p13.3, encoding Megakaryocyte-associated tyrosine-protein kinase (P42679). Could play a significant role in the signal transduction of hematopoietic cells.

The protein encoded by this gene has amino acid sequence similarity to Csk tyrosine kinase and has the structural features of the CSK subfamily: SRC homology SH2 and SH3 domains, a catalytic domain, a unique N terminus, lack of myristylation signals, lack of a negative regulatory phosphorylation site, and lack of an autophosphorylation site. This protein is thought to play a significant role in the signal transduction of hematopoietic cells. It is able to phosphorylate and inactivate Src family kinases, and may play an inhibitory role in the control of T-cell proliferation. This protein might be involved in signaling in some cases of breast cancer. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been described for this gene.

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).

Megakaryocyte-associated tyrosine-protein kinase — P42679 (reviewed: P42679)

Alternative names: CSK homologous kinase, Hematopoietic consensus tyrosine-lacking kinase, Protein kinase HYL, Tyrosine-protein kinase CTK

All UniProt accessions (10): P42679, F1T0G6, K7EKC4, K7EKS5, K7ENL8, K7EPP2, K7EQV3, K7EQY5, K7ERY4, K7ES68

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Could play a significant role in the signal transduction of hematopoietic cells. May regulate tyrosine kinase activity of SRC-family members in brain by specifically phosphorylating their C-terminal regulatory tyrosine residue which acts as a negative regulatory site. It may play an inhibitory role in the control of T-cell proliferation.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with KIT.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Membrane.

Tissue specificity. Expressed in various myeloid cell lines, detected in brain and lung.

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