DDR1 Antibody - #AF7861

Tyrosine kinase that functions as cell surface receptor for fibrillar collagen and regulates cell attachment to the extracellular matrix, remodeling of the extracellular matrix, cell migration, differentiation, survival and cell proliferation. Collagen binding triggers a signaling pathway that involves SRC and leads to the activation of MAP kinases. Regulates remodeling of the extracellular matrix by up-regulation of the matrix metalloproteinases MMP2, MMP7 and MMP9, and thereby facilitates cell migration and wound healing. Required for normal blastocyst implantation during pregnancy, for normal mammary gland differentiation and normal lactation. Required for normal ear morphology and normal hearing (By similarity). Promotes smooth muscle cell migration, and thereby contributes to arterial wound healing. Also plays a role in tumor cell invasion. Phosphorylates PTPN11.

Autophosphorylated in response to fibrillar collagen binding.

Glycosylation of Asn-211, but apparently not of Asn-260 or Asn-394, prevents autophosphorylation from occurring in the absence of collagen.

Detected in T-47D, MDA-MB-175 and HBL-100 breast carcinoma cells, A-431 epidermoid carcinoma cells, SW48 and SNU-C2B colon carcinoma cells and Hs 294T melanoma cells (at protein level). Expressed at low levels in most adult tissues and is highest in the brain, lung, placenta and kidney. Lower levels of expression are detected in melanocytes, heart, liver, skeletal muscle and pancreas. Abundant in breast carcinoma cell lines. In the colonic mucosa, expressed in epithelia but not in the connective tissue of the lamina propria. In the thyroid gland, expressed in the epithelium of the thyroid follicles. In pancreas, expressed in the islets of Langerhans cells, but not in the surrounding epithelial cells of the exocrine pancreas. In kidney, expressed in the epithelia of the distal tubules. Not expressed in connective tissue, endothelial cells, adipose tissue, muscle cells or cells of hematopoietic origin.

Homodimer. Interacts (via PPxY motif) with WWC1 (via WW domains) in a collagen-regulated manner. Forms a tripartite complex with WWC1 and PRKCZ, but predominantly in the absence of collagen. Interacts (tyrosine phosphorylated) with SHC1. Interacts with SRC. Interacts with MYH9. Interacts with CDH1. Interacts with PTPN11. Interacts with NCK2.

The Gly/Pro-rich domains may be required for an unusual geometry of interaction with ligand or substrates.

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. Insulin receptor subfamily.
