LTK（leukocyte receptor tyrosine kinase），癌症关联基因，基因ID：4058，该基因编码的蛋白质是酪氨酸激酶ros/胰岛素受体家族的成员。蛋白质酪氨酸特异性磷酸化是控制细胞生长和分化的多种途径的关键。已发现该基因编码不同亚型的多个转录变体。[由RefSeq提供，2008年10月]The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the ros/insulin receptor family of tyrosine kinases. Tyrosine-specific phosphorylation of proteins is a key to the control of diverse pathways leading to cell growth and differentiation. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq， Oct 2008]。
