Gene Information

human ... FER(2241)

General description

FER (fer (fps/fes related) tyrosine kinase) gene encodes a non-transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase belonging to the FPS/FES family. The protein has a molar mass of 94kDa and contains a short, basic C-terminal tail and a large N-terminal hydrophilic domain that is similar to the 92kDa protein encoded by the mammalian c-fps/fes proto-oncogene. It contains a single SH2 domain.

Immunogen

Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase FER recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

FER (fer (fps/fes related) tyrosine kinase) contains a coiled coil sequence that interacts with a catenin-like substrate pp120 and mediates cell-cell signaling. It is localized to the cytoplasmic fraction and interacts with actin-binding protein cortactin to form a complex. It functions in the growth factor-dependent phosphorylation of cortactin and mediates signaling from the cell surface to the cytoskeleton. The Fer protein that is localized on microtubules phosphorylates platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1, a part of intercellular junctions that mediates intracellular signaling cascades. It phosphorylates plakoglobin, a protein that links E-cadherin and α-catenin, and enhances the binding of plakoglobin to α-catenin, thereby increasing the transcriptional activity of the β-catenin-Tcf-4 complex that is commonly found in many epithelial tumor cells. It mediates phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase in suspended hepatocytes leading to multiple membrane protrusions and regulation of cell morphology.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Plakoglobin is a protein closely related to beta-catenin that links desmosomal cadherins to intermediate filaments. Plakoglobin can also substitute for beta-catenin in adherens junctions, providing a connection between E-cadherin and alpha-catenin. Association of beta-catenin with E-cadherin and alpha-catenin is regulated

Previous characterization of the nonreceptor tyrosine kinase FER identified a tight physical association with the catenin pp120 and led to the suggestion that FER may be involved in cell-cell signaling. To further understand the function of FER, we have continued
