DESCRIPTION

Also known as ROS1_HUMAN, ROS1, MCF3, ROS. Orphan receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that plays a role in epithelial cell differentiation and regionalization of the proximal epididymal epithelium. May activate several downstream signaling pathways related to cell differentiation, proliferation, growth and survival including the PI3 kinase-mTOR signaling pathway. Mediates the phosphorylation of PTPN11, an activator of this pathway. May also phosphorylate and activate the transcription factor STAT3 to control anchorage-independent cell growth. Mediates the phosphorylation and the activation of VAV3, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor regulating cell morphology. May activate other downstream signaling proteins including AKT1, MAPK1, MAPK3, IRS1 and PLCG2. Interacts with PTPN6 (via SH2 1 domain); the interaction is direct and promotes ROS1 dephosphorylation (By similarity). Interacts with PTPN11; may activate the PI3 kinase-mTOR signaling pathway. Interacts with VAV3; constitutive interaction mediating VAV3 phosphorylation.
