Brk known also as PTK6 is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase. Its molecular mass is approximately 52 kDa. PTK6 is expressed in various tissues with higher levels found in epithelial tissues such as breast skin and gastrointestinal tissues. Mechanically PTK6 phosphorylates different substrates affecting their function and participating in signal transduction. It acts intracellularly influencing cellular processes like proliferation differentiation and migration.
Biological function summary
PTK6 plays a role in cellular signaling systems influencing growth and survival. It does not belong to a large protein complex but often interacts with several downstream proteins to exert its effects. PTK6 modulates pathways in normal epithelial tissue development and homeostasis. In addition it regulates functions like apoptosis and motility significant for tissue maintenance and repair.
Pathways
PTK6 relates to key signaling cascades such as the MAPK and PI3K-Akt pathways. Within these pathways PTK6 is often associated with proteins like ERK1/2 and Akt which are important for cell survival and growth regulation. PTK6 can activate or inhibit these pathways influencing the cellular response to various stimuli and sometimes altering processes like cell cycle progression.
PTK6 has been implicated in the development and progression of certain cancers such as breast and prostate cancer. Elevated PTK6 expression levels have been linked to poor prognosis in these cancers where it appears to enhance tumor cell proliferation and invasion. The kinase interacts with proteins like HER2 and EGFR which are also involved in these cancers potentially affecting therapeutic responses and resistance to treatments.
