Fer - fer (fms/fps related) protein kinase

Enables protein kinase activity and protein phosphatase 1 binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherin; and substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell adhesion; chemotaxis; and protein autophosphorylation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleus. Predicted to be extrinsic component of cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Predicted to colocalize with several cellular components, including chromatin; cytoskeleton; and lamellipodium. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human FER (FER tyrosine kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
