kin-14 encodes a member of the tyrosine-specific subfamily of kinases that contains an SH2 domain, and has with similarity to the human proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase FER.
Predicted to enable protein tyrosine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in phosphorylation. Expressed in head neurons; marginal cell; pharyngeal muscle cell; pharyngeal-intestinal valve; and tail neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in esophagus squamous cell carcinoma; hepatocellular carcinoma; and lung adenocarcinoma. Is an ortholog of human FER (FER tyrosine kinase) and FES (FES proto-oncogene, tyrosine kinase).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
