Anti-FER / Tyrosine-protein kinase Fer

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. FER (FPS/FES-Related tyrosine kinase) also known as TYK3, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FER gene. Fer protein is a member of the FPS/FES family of non-transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases. By in situ hybridization, Morris et al.(1990) concluded that the FER gene is located at 5q21-q22. Treatment of cells with JMP resulted in the release of FER from the cadherin complex and its accumulation in the integrin complex. The accumulation of FER in the integrin complex and the inhibitory effects of JMP could be reversed with a peptide that mimics the first coiled-coil domain of FER. The results suggested that FER mediates crosstalk between CDH2 and ITGB1. In Fer mutant mice, leukocyte emigration was exaggerated in response to LPS without altering vascular permeability, suggesting that FER has a role in regulating innate immunity. Protein function: Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts downstream of cell surface receptors for growth factors and plays a role in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, microtubule assembly, lamellipodia formation, cell adhesion, cell migration and chemotaxis. Acts downstream of EGFR, KIT, PDGFRA and PDGFRB. Acts downstream of EGFR to promote activation of NF- kappa-B and cell proliferation. May play a role in the regulation of the mitotic cell cycle. Plays a role in the insulin receptor signaling pathway and in activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Acts downstream of the activated FCER1 receptor and plays a role in FCER1 (high affinity immunoglobulin epsilon receptor)-mediated signaling in mast cells. Plays a role in the regulation of mast cell degranulation. Plays a role in leukocyte recruitment and diapedesis in response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Plays a role in synapse organization, trafficking of synaptic vesicles, the generation of excitatory postsynaptic currents and neuron-neuron synaptic transmission. Plays a role in neuronal cell death after brain damage. Phosphorylates CTTN, CTNND1, PTK2/FAK1, GAB1, PECAM1 and PTPN11. May phosphorylate JUP and PTPN1. Can phosphorylate STAT3, but the biological relevance of this depends on cell type and stimulus. [The UniProt Consortium]
