This gene encodes a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase which is found concentrated in the focal adhesions that form between cells growing in the presence of extracellular matrix constituents. The encoded protein is a member of the FAK subfamily of protein tyrosine kinases but lacks significant sequence similarity to kinases from other subfamilies. Activation of this gene may be an important early step in cell growth and intracellular signal transduction pathways triggered in response to certain neural peptides or to cell interactions with the extracellular matrix. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, but the full-length natures of only three of them have been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
Function：Non-receptor protein-tyrosine kinase that plays an essential role in regulating cell migration, adhesion, spreading, reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, formation and disassembly of focal adhesions and cell protrusions, cell cycle progression, cell
Subunit：Interacts (via first Pro-rich region) with CAS family members (via SH3 domain), including BCAR1, BCAR3, CASS4 and NEDD9. Interacts with GIT1. Interacts with SORBS1. Interacts with RGNEF. Interacts with SHB. Interacts with PXN and TLN1. Interacts with STAT
Subcellular Location：Cell junction, focal adhesion. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasm, cell cortex. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, centrosome. Nucleus. Note=Constituent of focal adhesions. Detected at microtubules.
Tissue Specificity：Detected in B and T-lymphocytes. Isoform 1 and isoform 6 are detected in lung fibroblasts (at protein level). Ubiquitous.
Post-translational modifications：Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues upon activation, e.g. upon integrin signaling. Tyr-397 is the major autophosphorylation site, but other kinases can also phosphorylate this residue. Phosphorylation at Tyr-397 promotes interaction with SRC and SRC famil
DISEASE：Note=Aberrant PTK2/FAK1 expression may play a role in cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion, in tumor formation and metastasis. PTK2/FAK1 overexpression is seen in many types of cancer.
Similarity：Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family.
FAK subfamily.
Contains 1 FERM domain.
