Tyrosine Kinase Receptors (RTKs)

Target
RTKs
Molecular classification
Receptor, Enzyme, Transmembrane receptor, Tyrosine kinase
01

Overview

Tyrosine kinase receptors (RTKs) are high-affinity cell surface receptors for polypeptide growth factors, cytokines, and hormones. They regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, metabolism, survival, and migration. Ligand binding induces dimerization and autophosphorylation, activating downstream signaling pathways like Ras/MAPK, PI3K/AKT, and PLCγ. Dysregulation is implicated in cancers and other diseases, making them important therapeutic targets.
