Gene: FES
Alternate names for this Gene: FPS
Gene Summary: This gene encodes the human cellular counterpart of a feline sarcoma retrovirus protein with transforming capabilities. The gene product has tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity and that activity is required for maintenance of cellular transformation. Its chromosomal location has linked it to a specific translocation event identified in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia but it is also involved in normal hematopoiesis as well as growth factor and cytokine receptor signaling. Alternative splicing results in multiple variants encoding different isoforms.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 15
Location in Chromosome : 15q26.1
Description of this Gene: FES proto-oncogene, tyrosine kinase
Type of Gene: protein-coding
