ALK and LTK ligand 1

UniProtKB accession:  Q6UXT8

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Cytokine that acts as a physiological ligand for receptor tyrosine kinase LTK, leading to its activation (PubMed:25331893, PubMed:26418745, PubMed:26630010, PubMed:34646012, PubMed:34819673). Monomeric ALKAL1 binds to LTK, leading to LTK homodimerization and activation (PubMed:34646012, PubMed:34819673). In contrast to ALKAL2, does not act as a potent physiological ligand for ALK (PubMed:26418745, PubMed:34646012).
