这个基因是一个假定的癌基因，编码一个属于丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶亚家族的蛋白质，包含sh2样（SRC同源2样）结构域。该基因在8个卵巢癌细胞系中的2个和15个原发性卵巢肿瘤中的2个被扩增和过度表达。过度表达导致人导管胰腺癌亚群的恶性表型。编码蛋白是一种普通的蛋白激酶，能够对几种已知的蛋白进行磷酸化。
This gene is a putative oncogene encoding a protein belonging to a subfamily of serine/threonine kinases containing SH2-like (Src homology 2-like) domains. The gene was shown to be amplified and overexpressed in 2 of 8 ovarian carcinoma cell lines and 2 of 15 primary ovarian tumors. Overexpression contributes to the malignant phenotype of a subset of human ductal pancreatic cancers. The encoded protein is a general protein kinase capable of phophorylating several known proteins.
