Src Kinase

Meaning

Src Kinase is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase, a crucial class of intracellular enzymes that function as master regulators in numerous signal transduction pathways within the cell. This protein plays a central role in controlling cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, migration, and survival by phosphorylating specific tyrosine residues on other proteins. In the hormonal health domain, Src Kinase acts as a key convergence point for signaling from various growth factors and hormone receptors, linking external cues to internal cellular machinery. Its dysregulation is implicated in oncogenesis and chronic inflammatory states.
