Unless otherwise stated all data on this page refer to the human proteins. Gene information is provided for human (Hs), mouse (Mm) and rat (Rn).

Overview

Show »« Hide

The ROS1 gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase, whose endogenous substrate and normal physiological functions are not fully determined, however there is evidence that neural epidermal growth factor-like like 2 (NELL2; Q99435) is an agonist for ROS1. Aberrant expression and mutated forms of ROS1 are drivers of malignant transformation in number of tumour types.
