Protein-Tyrosine Kinase 2-Beta

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Enzyme

**Definition:** Protein-tyrosine kinase 2-beta (1009 aa, ~116 kDa) is encoded by the human PTK2B gene. This protein plays a role in tyrosine phosphorylation, signal transduction and the regulation of many cellular processes including apoptosis, cell migration, cell proliferation and cell adhesion.
