The FER protein also known as mouse FER or FER-1 functions as a non-receptor tyrosine kinase within the Fes/Fps subfamily. It has a molecular mass of approximately 94 kDa. FER is expressed across various tissues notably in epithelial cells and is also present in hematopoietic and neural cells. Its kinase activity regulates cell signaling affecting processes like cell proliferation differentiation and survival.
Biological function summary
FER acts as a regulator in signaling pathways essential for cellular communication and structure maintenance. FER interacts within cellular complexes modulating the cytoskeleton and intercellular junctions. It influences actin remodeling impacting cell adhesion and motility. FER's involvement in such activities makes it important for maintaining epithelial integrity and cellular response to external stimuli.
Pathways
FER plays a role in the PI3K/Akt pathway and the MAPK/ERK pathway. These pathways are important for cell growth survival and proliferation. FER interacts with other proteins like STAT3 and JAK2 integrating signals that drive these pathways. By modulating key signaling events FER influences cellular functions and responses to environmental changes.
FER associates with cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Aberrant FER expression and activity have been found in various tumors linking it to cancer progression and metastasis. In cardiovascular disease FER's role in regulating endothelial function connects it to vascular abnormalities. Its interaction with proteins like VEGFR further implicates FER in the pathogenesis of these conditions serving as a potential therapeutic target.
