    A possible new member of tyrosine kinase family, human frt sequence, is highly conserved in vertebrates and located on human chromosome 13.

    Matsushime H, Yoshida MC, Sasaki M, Shibuya M.

    We have isolated a human genomic DNA (designated human frt) cross-hybridizing with the v-ros oncogene of UR2 sarcoma virus. Sequencing analysis of this fragment revealed that this sequence contains a 123-base-pair exon-like structure surrounded by consensus sequences of splice acceptor and donor sites. The deduced amino acid sequence of this stretch was highly homologous to a portion of a tyrosine kinase domain of src family. The human frt sequence was found to be conserved in a wide variety of vertebrates. By using a human-mouse hybridoma panel, human frt was located on chromosome 13, while human c-ros-1 was located on chromosome 6.
