ID:MATK_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Megakaryocyte-associated tyrosine-protein kinase; EC=2.7.10.2; AltName: Full=CSK homologous kinase; Short=CHK; AltName: Full=Hematopoietic consensus tyrosine-lacking kinase; AltName: Full=Protein kinase HYL; AltName: Full=Tyrosine-protein kinase CTK; FUNCTION: Could play a significant role in the signal transduction of hematopoietic cells. May regulate tyrosine kinase activity of SRC-family members in brain by specifically phosphorylating their C-terminal regulatory tyrosine residue which acts as a negative regulatory site. It may play an inhibitory role in the control of T-cell proliferation. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine = ADP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine phosphate. SUBUNIT: Interacts with KIT. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Membrane. Note=In platelets, 90% of MATK localizes to the membrane fraction, and translocates to the cytoskeleton upon thrombin stimulation. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in various myeloid cell lines, detected in brain and lung. PTM: Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. CSK subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 protein kinase domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 SH2 domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 SH3 domain.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
