Gene
- Public Gene Name
- kin-5
- Sequence Name
- T13H10.1
- WB ID
- WBGene00002193
- Description
- kin-5 encodes a predicted protein tyrosine kinase that is most closely related to the non-receptor tyrosine kinases Fes/Fps and Fer that contain an SH2 domain and a tyrosine kinase domain (OMIM:190030, murine Fes appears to be required for hemopoietic homeostasis); as loss of kin-5 activity via large-scale RNAi screens does not result in any obvious abnormalities, the precise role of kin-5 in C. elegans development and/or behavior is not yet known.
