  • Title: Identification of alternatively spliced mRNAs encoding variants of MDK1, a novel receptor tyrosine kinase expressed in the murine nervous system.
    Author: Ciossek T, Millauer B, Ullrich A.
    Journal: Oncogene; 1995 Jan 05; 10(1):97-108. PubMed ID: 7824284.
    Abstract:
    A novel member of the eck/eph family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), termed mouse developmental kinase 1 (MDK1), was identified and shown to be closely related to the Eek, Ehk1/Cek7, Ehk2, Cek4/Mek4/hek and Sek/Cek8 subfamily. Northern blot analysis revealed MDK1 mRNA transcripts of 6.8, 5.7, 4.0, 3.2 and 2.6 kb that encode apparent splice variants. Sequence analyses of MDK1 cDNA clones from adult mouse brain predict the existence of at least five isoforms, including two truncated receptor variants lacking the kinase domain. Northern blot and in situ hybridization analysis indicate that in the adult mouse MDK1 RNA expression is restricted to brain, testes and spleen. The distinct patterns of MDK1 gene expression during mouse development suggest an important role in the formation of neuronal structures and possibly other morphogenic processes.
