Regulation of hematopoietic cell function by protein tyrosine kinase-encoding oncogenes, a review.
Tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins by protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) is an important mechanism in the regulation of various cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and transformation. Accumulating data implicate PTKs as essential intermediates in the transduction of extracellular signals to the interior of the cell. This review summarizes the mechanism of action of PTKs from the major subclasses and the involvement of PTK-encoding oncogenes in the regulation of hematopoietic cell function.
