Met - MET proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase

Enables several functions, including beta-catenin binding activity; hepatocyte growth factor-activated receptor activity; and phospholipase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; nervous system development; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Located in several cellular components, including postsynaptic density; postsynaptic membrane; and sperm flagellum. Biomarker of several diseases, including acute kidney failure; hepatobiliary system cancer (multiple); liver benign neoplasm; pancreatitis; and periodontitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder; autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 97; carcinoma (multiple); and multiple myeloma. Orthologous to human MET (MET proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
