Oreochromis niloticus      TK/DDR


※ DDR family introduction

    DDR (Discoidin domain receptor) belong to receptor tyrosine kinase. DDRs exist in all animals. Two genes encoding DDR1 and DDR2 have been found in mammals. DDRs possess a typical RTK structure, including a signal peptide, an extracellular region, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular kinase domain. The discoidin domain exists in extracellular domain and mediates the collagen-binding. DDR1 is overexpressed in several cancers and is a direct transcriptional target of p53. Studies show that DDR1 can regulate cell spreading and motility by associating with myosin IIA and can also regulate the stabilization of cell surface E-cadherin and E-cadherin-mediated cell aggregation (1). DDR2 can act as a cell surface receptor for fibrillar collagen, and can regulate cell differentiation, remodeling of the extracellular matrix, cell migration and cell proliferation (2).
