Fyn-related kinase

Introduction

Fyn-related kinase (FRK, formerly tyrosine protein kinase 5) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FRK gene.[1][2]

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the TYR family of protein kinases. This tyrosine kinase is a nuclear protein and may function during G1 and S phase of the cell cycle and suppress growth.[2]

Interactions

Interactions

FRK has been shown to interact with retinoblastoma protein.[3]
