MeSH definition : Receptor tyrosine kinases that bind COLLAGENS. They are characterized by the presence
of extracellular DISCOIDIN DOMAINS that activate SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION PATHWAYS in response
to collagen binding. They may also be cleaved by MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASES to mediate
cell interactions with the EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX.;
