Activity summary

Fyn is a Src family tyrosine kinase with a molecular weight of approximately 59 kDa. It is often referred to as Fyn kinase and plays a significant role in signal transduction processes. This protein is observed in various tissues with high expression in the brain T cells and platelets. Fyn kinase is known for its function in cell communication and regulates different cellular processes in these tissues.

Biological function summary

Fyn kinase influences cell growth differentiation and survival. It is a part of larger signaling complexes including those accountable for the development and function of the central nervous system. The protein's activity is important for neural plasticity and supports synaptic communication particularly within the brain. Fyn can interact with other proteins in these complexes to help direct cellular responses to external signals.

Pathways

Fyn kinase is central to several intracellular signaling pathways such as the T cell receptor (TCR) signaling pathway and the integrin signaling pathway. The TCR signaling pathway involves the regulation of immune responses while the integrin signaling pathway contributes to cell adhesion and migration. Other proteins like Lck and Yes interact with Fyn within these pathways adding another layer of regulation and response in various cell types.

Associated diseases and disorders

Fyn kinase has associations with Alzheimer's disease and certain types of cancer. In Alzheimer's dysregulation of Fyn activity contributes to synaptic dysfunction and neuronal damage. In cancer aberrant Fyn signaling can affect cellular proliferation and metastasis. Proteins such as Tau in Alzheimer's disease and Src in cancer relate to Fyn through their respective pathological processes.
