NCIt definition : Epithelial discoidin domain-containing receptor 1 (913 aa, 101 kDa) is encoded by
the human DDR1 gene. This protein plays a role in tyrosine phosphorylation, extracellular
matrix catabolism and signal transduction.;
NCIt note : Epithelial discoidin domain-containing receptor 1 has extracellular Discoidin I motifs;
GLY/PRO-rich domains likely required for ligand or substrate interaction; a F5/8 type
C domain; and a novel N-terminal region with homology to a factor VIII domain. The
C-terminal catalytic domain has type II receptor tyrosine kinase motifs.;
