NCIt definition : TYRO protein tyrosine kinase-binding protein (113 aa, 12 kDa) is encoded by the human
TYROBP gene. This protein is involved in the modulation of natural killer cell activity.;
NCIt note : Encoded by human TYROBP Gene, 113-aa 12-kDa (precursor) disulfide-linked homodimeric
Tyr-phosphorylated TYRO Protein Tyrosine Kinase Binding Protein is a type I transmembrane
polypeptide containing a cytoplasmic ITAM motif that may act as an activating signal
transduction element in bone modeling, brain myelination, and inflammation. TYROBP
associates with KIR family membrane glycoproteins without a cytoplasmic ITIM; KIR/TYROBP
complexes promote cellular activation. TYROBP interacts with SIRPB1 and may bind TCR
zeta chain-associated ZAP-70 kinase and SYK tyrosine kinase.;
