Receptor Serine/Threonine Kinase Gene

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Receptor Serine/Threonine Kinase Genes encode receptor proteins that each bind to specific signaling factors causing a conformational and functional change in the ligand-bound receptor, altering its interaction with target molecules, increasing the receptor kinase activity, and leading to changes in cellular physiology through modification of the activity of one or more signal transduction pathways.
