epitope mapping at the N-terminus of Brk of mouse origin
Modification Notes
Tyrosine protein kinases play crucial roles in cell proliferation, survival, adhesion and motility by regulating ligand-mediated signal transduction, cell-cycle progression and cytoskeleton function. Tyrosine kinases may also bring about the transformation of malignant cells. Breast tumor kinase, Brk (also known as PTK6), along with its murine homolog, Sik (Src-related intestinal kinase) is one such kinase. Brk is a member of a distinct family of intracellular tyrosine kinases thought to be related to the Src family of tumor-related kinases. Brk exhibits the features of a novel non-receptor tyrosine kinase, including N-terminal SH3 and SH2 domains. Brk is specifically expressed in epithelial tissues and is restricted to cell layers immediately above the proliferative cell zone in skin and alimentary canal lining. Expression of Brk in normal tissues is relatively restricted with the highest mRNA levels found in colon, small intestine and prostate. Brk is strongly expressed in many breast carcinomas but not in normal breast tissue. Brk protein is also capable of autophosphorylation, which may play a role in its regulation.
