Description

Protein function:

Probably involved in intracellular signal transduction by being involved in the initiation of type I IFN signaling. Phosphorylates the interferon-alpha/beta receptor alpha chain

Catalytic activity:

ATP + a [protein]-l-tyrosine = ADP + a [protein]-l-tyrosine phosphate

Tissue specificity:

Observed in all cell lines analyzed. Expressed in a variety of lymphoid and non-lymphoid cell lines

Similarity:

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. Jak subfamily
