Muscle, Skeletal Receptor Tyrosine-Protein Kinase

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

**Definition:** Muscle, skeletal receptor tyrosine-protein kinase (869 aa, ~97 kDa) is encoded by the human MUSK gene. This protein is involved in receptor signaling, tyrosine phosphorylation and both the development and maintenance of the postsynaptic side of the neuromuscular junction.
