※ CCK4 family introduction

    CCK4 (Colon Carcinoma Kinase 4), which is known as protein tyrosine kinase-7 (PTK7), is a human homologue of KLG. PTK7 contains an extracellular domain, seven immunoglobulin-like loops and an inactive catalytic domain of tyrosine kinase. Studies show that PTK7 act as a novel regulator of planar cell polarity in vertebrates (1). PTK7 can also recruit dsh to regulate neural crest migration (2). In addition, several alternatives splicing of PTK7 mRNA may contribute to its diverse functions in cell signaling (3).
