C-FER monoclonal antibody

Fer is a nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinase of the Fes/Fps family. Like many other cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases, Fer contains a long amino-terminal domain, a central SH2 domain, and a carboxy-terminal kinase domain. Its amino-terminal domain is responsible for protein oligomerization as well as interaction with cytoskeletal proteins. Fer is ubiquitously expressed in a wide variety of cell and tissue types, and is localized to both cytoplasm and nucleus . Tyrosine kinase activity of Fer can be stimulated by growth factors and cytokines. After activation, Fer can further activate various downstream signaling components including Stat3 . Fer plays an important role in regulation of cell movement, oncogenesis and inflammation.
