Tyrosine Kinases
Tyrosine kinases play a central role in transmembrane signal transduction, mediating cellular responses to growth factors, cytokines, and environmental cues. Dysregulation of tyrosine kinase signaling is closely associated with cancer, immune disorders, and developmental abnormalities.
Our Tyrosine Kinase recombinant protein portfolio is designed to support receptor-focused research, providing structurally defined extracellular domains and functional constructs suitable for biochemical, biophysical, and cell-based studies.
Built for Receptor Biology and Signaling Research
Unlike soluble ligands or intracellular enzymes, receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) function through ligand binding, receptor dimerization, and spatial organization at the cell surface. This portfolio is developed to support experimental systems that interrogate these critical early signaling events.
Ligand–Receptor Interaction Studies
Recombinant extracellular domains of tyrosine kinases are suitable for analyzing ligand binding, affinity determination, and interaction specificity using biochemical and biophysical assays.
Receptor Activation and Dimerization Models
Fc-fusion and defined extracellular constructs support studies of receptor dimerization, clustering, and activation mechanisms that precede intracellular kinase signaling.
Cell-Based Signaling and Functional Assays
Tyrosine kinase proteins are widely used as reagents in cell-based assays to validate receptor engagement, pathway activation, and downstream biological responses.
Oncology and Disease-Associated Research
Many tyrosine kinases represented in this portfolio are well-established tumor-associated antigens or disease-relevant targets, supporting cancer biology, biomarker research, and therapeutic discovery efforts.
Comprehensive Coverage of Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Families
This portfolio includes a broad range of receptor tyrosine kinases involved in growth factor signaling, immune regulation, angiogenesis, and developmental pathways.
Target coverage includes, but is not limited to:
- EGFR and ErbB family members (HER2, HER3, HER4)
- FGFR family receptors and isoforms
- VEGFR, PDGFR, and CSF1R signaling receptors
- ROR, Trk, AXL, MerTK, DDR, Tie, MET, and KIT families
Multiple species options are available, including human, mouse, rat, cynomolgus monkey, and rhesus macaque, enabling translational and comparative studies.
Structurally Defined Extracellular Constructs
To support diverse experimental needs, tyrosine kinase proteins are offered in multiple construct designs focusing on extracellular and functional regions.
Available formats include:
- Full-length extracellular domains for native-like receptor interaction studies
- Domain-specific constructs (e.g., Ig-like, Frizzled, Kringle domains) for structure–function analysis
- Fc-fusion proteins to enhance stability, avidity, and assay sensitivity
- His-tagged proteins for biochemical assays and purification compatibility
- Biotinylated formats for immobilization, binding assays, and interaction profiling
Expression regions are carefully selected to preserve receptor-binding interfaces and native folding characteristics.
Mammalian Expression for Structural Fidelity
Given the structural complexity and glycosylation requirements of receptor tyrosine kinases, the majority of proteins are produced using mammalian expression systems to support proper folding and post-translational modifications.
Where appropriate, alternative expression systems are employed for defined fragments or specialized applications.
Quality Attributes Supporting Sensitive Receptor Assays
Tyrosine kinase signaling studies often rely on subtle binding and activation events. Each recombinant protein is manufactured under standardized quality control processes designed to support sensitive and reproducible assays.
Key quality attributes include:
- High purity and consistent molecular profiles
- Low endotoxin levels suitable for cell-based and receptor-binding assays
- Defined construct boundaries and reproducible batch performance
- Compatibility with biochemical, biophysical, and cellular assay platforms
