Gene ID: 6098, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ROS; MCF3; c-ros-1

Summary

This proto-oncogene, highly-expressed in a variety of tumor cell lines, belongs to the sevenless subfamily of tyrosine kinase insulin receptor genes. The protein encoded by this gene is a type I integral membrane protein with tyrosine kinase activity. The protein may function as a growth or differentiation factor receptor.
