HCK

Tyrosine-protein kinase HCK is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HCK gene.

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a protein-tyrosine kinase that is predominantly expressed in hemopoietic cell types, and belongs to the Src family of tyrosine kinases. The encoded protein may help couple the Fc receptor to the activation of the respiratory burst. In addition, it may play a role in neutrophil migration and in the degranulation of neutrophils. Alternate translation initiation site usage, including a non-AUG (CUG) codon, results in the production of two different isoforms, that have different subcellular localization.

Interactions

HCK has been shown to interact with:

  • ADAM15
  • BCR gene,
  • Cbl gene,
  • ELMO1,
  • Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor,
  • RAPGEF1,
  • RAS p21 protein activator 1, and
  • RASA3.

    I bought a flat
    Diminished responsibility
    You're de ninth person to see
    To be suspended in a seventh
    Major catastrophe
    It's a minor point but gee
    Augmented by the sharpness of your
    See what I'm going through
    A to be with you
    In a flat by the sea
