Factor XIII (Factor XIII) is the last protease activated in the coagulation cascade. Coagulation factor XIII is composed of 2 A subunits (F13A) with catalytic function and 2 non-catalytic B subunits (F13B). Coagulation factor XIII is the zymogen of fibrin ligase, which is a kind of transglutaminase, which can catalyze the formation of γ-glutamyl-ε-lysine cross-linking reaction between fibrin chains, thereby stabilizing the fibrin clot. Therefore, factor XIII plays an important role in maintaining hemostasis.
PTK2(protein tyrosine kinase 2) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase which is found concentrated in the focal adhesions that form between cells growing in the presence of extracellular matrix constituents. The encoded protein is a member of the FAK subfamily of protein tyrosine kinases but lacks significant sequence similarity to kinases from other subfamilies. Activation of this gene may be an important early step in cell growth and intracellular signal transduction pathways triggered in response to certain neural peptides or to cell interactions with the extracellular matrix. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, but the full-length natures of only four of them have been determined.
FAK (Focal adhesion kinase 1) is also named as FAK1,FADK,pp125FAK,FAK and belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. It is a critical tyrosine kinase that modulates cell adhesion,migration,proliferation and survival in response to extracellular signals . It also acts as a pivotal signal 'integrator',controlling and coordinating cellular responses that include cell migration,survival,proliferation and,epithelial tissue repair after DNA damage . This protein has 6 isoforms produced by alternative promoter usage and alternative splicing.
The protein encoded by this gene is cell-cycle regulated, and has nuclear localization. The C-terminal half of the protein shares homology with trypsin-like peptidases and it contains a PCNA-interacting peptide (PIP) box, that is necessary for its co-localization with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Reduced expression of this gene resulted in DNA replication defects, consistent with the demonstrated role for this gene in Simian Virus 40 (SV40) viral replication. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Kenny-Caffey syndrome (KCS) type 2 and the more severe osteocraniostenosis (OCS, also known as Gracile Bone Dysplasia), both characterized by short stature, hypoparathyroidism, bone development abnormalities, and hypocalcemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
The protein encoded by this gene is part of the FTS/Hook/FHIP (FHF) complex, which can interact with members of the homotypic vesicular protein sorting (HOPS) complex. This interaction suggests that the encoded protein is involved in vesicle trafficking.
The protein encoded by this gene is a homodimeric integral membrane gelatinase belonging to the serine protease family. It is selectively expressed in reactive stromal fibroblasts of epithelial cancers, granulation tissue of healing wounds, and malignant cells of bone and soft tissue sarcomas. This protein is thought to be involved in the control of fibroblast growth or epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during development, tissue repair, and epithelial carcinogenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
This gene encodes a member of the fascin family of actin-binding proteins. Fascin proteins organize F-actin into parallel bundles, and are required for the formation of actin-based cellular protrusions. The encoded protein plays a critical role in cell migration, motility, adhesion and cellular interactions. Expression of this gene is known to be regulated by several microRNAs, and overexpression of this gene may play a role in the metastasis of multiple types of cancer by increasing cell motility. Expression of this gene is also a marker for Reed-Sternberg cells in Hodgkin's lymphoma. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 15.
