FYN FYN proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase

Gene ID: 2534, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SLK; SYN; p59-FYN

Summary

This gene is a member of the protein-tyrosine kinase oncogene family. It encodes a membrane-associated tyrosine kinase that has been implicated in the control of cell growth. The protein associates with the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and interacts with the fyn-binding protein. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms exist.
