Src Family Kinase Activators Small Molecules and Peptides

Src kinases consist of eight non-receptor tyrosine kinases (Src, Fyn, Yes, Lck, Lyn, Hck, Fgr and Blk) that interact with the intracellular domains of growth factor/cytokine receptors, GPCRs and integrins. Members of the Src kinase family have a very similar domain structure with a high degree of homology in the SH1 (catalytic), linker, SH2 (p-Tyr binding), SH3 (protein-protein interaction) and SH4 (membrane association) domains.

c-Src, Fyn and Yes are ubiquitously expressed, although high ...
