Name
Focal adhesion kinase
Synonyms
  • CG10023
  • CT28129
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in negative regulation of receptor recycling and negative regulation of synaptic assembly at neuromuscular junction. Located in focal adhesion; type Ib terminal bouton; and type Is terminal bouton. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cephalic furrow; egg chamber; follicle cell; and midgut primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; hypertension; leiomyoma; lung small cell carcinoma; and pulmonary hypertension. Orthologous to several human genes including PTK2 (protein tyrosine kinase 2).
FB Description
Focal adhesion kinase (Fak) encodes a non-Receptor Tyrosine kinase (nRTK) that is involved in signaling and cytoskeletal dynamics integrating signals from RTKs and integrins. Its function has been described in multiple contexts including embryonic muscle attachement, morphogensis of the optic stalk, synaptic growth and transmission, and in the regulation of RTK-MAP kinase signaling in epithelia.
