Function |
DOK proteins are enzymatically inert adaptor or scaffolding proteins. They provide a docking platform for the assembly of multimolecular signaling complexes. DOK6 promotes Ret- mediated neurite growth. May have a role in brain development and/or maintenance. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15286081}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in fetal and adult brain. Highly expressed in the cerebellum. Weak expression in kidney, spinal cord and testis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15286081}.
