LMTK2

The LMTK2 enzyme belongs to both the protein kinase and the tyrosine kinase families. It contains N-terminus transmembrane helices and a long C-terminal cytoplasmic tail with serine/threonine kinase activity. This protein interacts with several other proteins, such as androgen receptor, inhibitor-2 (Inh2), protein phosphatase-1 (PP1C), p35, and myosin VI. It phosphorylates other proteins, and is itself also phosphorylated when interacting with cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (cdk5)/p35 complex. This protein is involved in nerve growth factor (NGF)-TrkA signalling, and also plays a critical role in endosomal membrane trafficking. Mouse studies suggested an essential role of this protein in spermatogenesis.

Loss of LMTK2 has been implicated to play a role in development of prostate cancer.{{cite journal | vauthors = Shah K, Bradbury NA | title = Lemur Tyrosine Kinase 2, a novel target in prostate cancer therapy | journal = Oncotarget | volume = 6 | issue = 16 | pages = 14233–46 | date = Jun 2015 | pmid = 26008968 | doi=10.18632/oncotarget.3899 | pmc=4546463}}
