Gene: TYRO3
Alternate names for this Gene: BYK|Dtk|Etk-2|RSE|Rek|Sky|Tif
Gene Summary: The gene is part of a 3-member transmembrane receptor kinase receptor family with a processed pseudogene distal on chromosome 15. The encoded protein is activated by the products of the growth arrest-specific gene 6 and protein S genes and is involved in controlling cell survival and proliferation, spermatogenesis, immunoregulation and phagocytosis. The encoded protein has also been identified as a cell entry factor for Ebola and Marburg viruses.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 15
Location in Chromosome : 15q15.1
Description of this Gene: TYRO3 protein tyrosine kinase
Type of Gene: protein-coding
