Feline Sarcoma Oncogene (FES) Antibody, Abbexa, abx015747

FES (feline sarcoma oncogene) and Fer are the only two members of a unique family of cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinases.FES and Fer contain a central Src homology-2 (SH2) domain and a carboxy-terminal tyrosine kinase catalytic domain.They are structurally distinguished from other members of cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase subfamilies by the presence of amino-terminal Fer/CIP4 homology and coiled-coil domains.FES was originally identified as an oncogene from avian and feline retroviruses.Human c-Fes has been implicated in myeloid, vascular endothelial and neuronal cell differentiation.FES has tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity and that activity is required for maintenance of cellular transformation.Mutations may activate the FES kinase and thereby contribute to cancer.However, recent data strongly suggests that the c-FES protein-tyrosine kinase is a tumor suppressor rather than a dominant oncogene in colorectal cancer.
