Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Has a ligand-stimulated tyrosine-protein kinase activity (PubMed:7628438, PubMed:8603594). Regulates cell number and cell size during development by regulating cell growth and survival, affecting body size and organ size, including ovaries and imaginal disks (PubMed:8603594, PubMed:10455177, PubMed:11250149). Plays a role in life-span determination (PubMed:11292875). May be involved in regulation of other neuroendocrine signaling pathways (PubMed:11292875). Involved in the development of the embryonic nervous system (PubMed:7628438). Functions upstream of dock/dreadlocks for photoreceptor (R cell) axon guidance and targeting in the visual system (PubMed:12702880).
