FLT3 Gene (Protein Coding)

Fms Related Receptor Tyrosine Kinase 3

GC13M028003
GIFtS:
52
This gene encodes a class III receptor tyrosine kinase that regulates hematopoiesis. This receptor is activated by binding of the fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand to the extracellular domain, which induces homodimer formation in the plasma membrane leading to autophosphorylation of the receptor. The activated receptor kinase subsequently phosphorylates and activates multipl... See more...

Summaries for FLT3 Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for FLT3 Gene

  • This gene encodes a class III receptor tyrosine kinase that regulates hematopoiesis. This receptor is activated by binding of the fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand to the extracellular domain, which induces homodimer formation in the plasma membrane leading to autophosphorylation of the receptor. The activated receptor kinase subsequently phosphorylates and activates multiple cytoplasmic effector molecules in pathways involved in apoptosis, proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic cells in bone marrow. Mutations that result in the constitutive activation of this receptor result in acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]

CIViC Summary for FLT3 Gene

  • FLT3 is an important cytokine receptor involved in normal hematopoiesis. Mutations in this gene are common in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and screening for mutations in this gene has been recommended by the World Health Organization in patients with AML, particularly in cases of cytogenetically normal AML (CN-AML). FLT3 mutations commonly co-occur with mutations such as NPM1 that are associated with CN-AML and likely modulate prognostic impact. While FLT3-ITD mutations have been associated with poorer prognosis in AML, the prognostic impact of FLT3-TKD mutations are still up for debate.

GeneCards Summary for FLT3 Gene

FLT3 (Fms Related Receptor Tyrosine Kinase 3) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with FLT3 include Leukemia, Acute Myeloid and Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia Without Maturation. Among its related pathways are Transcriptional misregulation in cancer and Activation of cAMP-Dependent PKA. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include protein homodimerization activity and protein kinase activity. An important paralog of this gene is PDGFRA.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary for FLT3 Gene

  • Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as cell-surface receptor for the cytokine FLT3LG and regulates differentiation, proliferation and survival of hematopoietic progenitor cells and of dendritic cells. Promotes phosphorylation of SHC1 and AKT1, and activation of the downstream effector MTOR. Promotes activation of RAS signaling and phosphorylation of downstream kinases, including MAPK1/ERK2 and/or MAPK3/ERK1. Promotes phosphorylation of FES, FER, PTPN6/SHP, PTPN11/SHP-2, PLCG1, and STAT5A and/or STAT5B. Activation of wild-type FLT3 causes only marginal activation of STAT5A or STAT5B. Mutations that cause constitutive kinase activity promote cell proliferation and resistance to apoptosis via the activation of multiple signaling pathways.

Tocris Summary for FLT3 Gene

  • FMS-like receptor tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) is a member of the class III RTK (receptor tyrosine kinase) family and is expressed primarily in hematopoietic progenitor cells. Its expression in these cells means that FLT3 has an important role in the pathogenesis of AML.

Post-translational modifications for FLT3 Gene

  • N-glycosylated, contains complex N-glycans with sialic acid.
  • Autophosphorylated on several tyrosine residues in response to FLT3LG binding. FLT3LG binding also increases phosphorylation of mutant kinases that are constitutively activated. Dephosphorylated by PTPRJ/DEP-1, PTPN1, PTPN6/SHP-1, and to a lesser degree by PTPN12. Dephosphorylation is important for export from the endoplasmic reticulum and location at the cell membrane.
  • Rapidly ubiquitinated by UBE2L6 and the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase SIAH1 after autophosphorylation, leading to its proteasomal degradation.
  • Glycosylation at Asn43, Asn100, Asn151, Asn306, Asn323, Asn351, Asn354, Asn473, Asn502, and Asn541

FLT3_HUMAN
  • Leukemia, acute myelogenous (AML) [MIM:601626]: A subtype of acute leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells. AML is a malignant disease of bone marrow characterized by maturational arrest of hematopoietic precursors at an early stage of development. Clonal expansion of myeloid blasts occurs in bone marrow, blood, and other tissue. Myelogenous leukemias develop from changes in cells that normally produce neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils and monocytes. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:11090077, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11290608, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11442493, ECO:0000269 PubMed:14504097, ECO:0000269 PubMed:16266983, ECO:0000269 PubMed:18305215, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8946930, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9737679}. Note=The gene represented in this entry may be involved in disease pathogenesis. Somatic mutations that lead to constitutive activation of FLT3 are frequent in AML patients. These mutations fall into two classes, the most common being in-frame internal tandem duplications of variable length in the juxtamembrane region that disrupt the normal regulation of the kinase activity. Likewise, point mutations in the activation loop of the kinase domain can result in a constitutively activated kinase.
