NCIt definition : Human FER wild-type allele is located within 5q21 and is approximately 440 kb in length.
This allele, which encodes proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase FER protein, is
involved in signal transduction.;
NCIt note : In a mechanism involving growth factor receptors, proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein
kinase FER protein mediates signaling from the cell surface to the cytoskeleton. The
FER gene may play a role in the regulation of innate immunity.;
