該基因編碼的蛋白質是酪氨酸激酶ros/胰島素受體家族的成員。蛋白質酪氨酸特異性磷酸化是控制細胞生長和分化的多種途徑的關鍵。已發現該基因編碼不同亞型的多個轉錄變體。[由RefSeq提供，2008年10月]
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the ros/insulin receptor family of tyrosine kinases. Tyrosine-specific phosphorylation of proteins is a key to the control of diverse pathways leading to cell growth and differentiation. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
