| UniProt functional annotation for Q16288 | |||
| UniProt code: Q16288. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Receptor tyrosine kinase involved in nervous system and probably heart development. Upon binding of its ligand NTF3/neurotrophin-3, NTRK3 autophosphorylates and activates different signaling pathways, including the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT and the MAPK pathways, that control cell survival and differentiation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25196463}. | |
| 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=2.7.10.1; Evidence={ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10028}; | |
| Subunit: | Exists in a dynamic equilibrium between monomeric (low affinity) and dimeric (high affinity) structures (By similarity). Binds SH2B2. Interacts with SQSTM1 and KIDINS220 (By similarity). Interacts with PTPRS (PubMed:25385546). Interacts with MAPK8IP3/JIP3 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04629, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q03351, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25385546}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Widely expressed but mainly in nervous tissue. Isoform 2 is expressed at higher levels in adult brain than in fetal brain. | |
| Ptm: | Ligand-mediated auto-phosphorylation. | |
| Disease: | Note=Defects in NTRK3 are associated with susceptibility to congenital heart defects (CHD). A disease characterized by congenital developmental abnormalities involving structures of the heart. CHD are the most common major birth defects and the leading cause of death from congenital malformations. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25196463}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. Insulin receptor subfamily. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00159}. | |
