Function
Cytokine that acts as a physiological ligand for receptor tyrosine kinase LTK, leading to its activation. Monomeric ALKAL1 binds to LTK, leading to LTK homodimerization and activation. In contrast to ALKAL2, does not act as a potent physiological ligand for ALK.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted; Cell membrane
Tissue Specificity: Widely expressed with highest levels in thyroid and moderate levels in stomach, trachea, small intestine, prostate and brain
