UniProt functional annotation for P42679

UniProt code: P42679.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9171348}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=ATP + L-tyrosyl-[protein] = ADP + H(+) + O-phospho-L-tyrosyl- [protein]; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:10596, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10136, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:10137, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:46858, ChEBI:CHEBI:82620, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=2.7.10.2; Evidence={ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10028};
Subunit: Interacts with KIT. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9038210}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9171348}. Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9171348}. Note=In platelets, 90% of MATK localizes to the membrane fraction, and translocates to the cytoskeleton upon thrombin stimulation.
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. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00159}.
