NCIt definition : Human FGR wild-type allele is located within 1p36.2-p36.1 and is approximately 23
kb in length. This allele, which encodes proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase FGR
protein, is involved in the regulation of outside-in signaling-dependent sustained
neutrophil adhesion. Amplification of this gene is associated with the development
of hormone-resistant prostate cancer.;
NCIt note : The FGR gene also plays a role in integrin-mediated leukocyte activation.;
