Seeking a better understanding of the non-receptor tyrosine kinase, SRMS.

ABSTRACT: SRMS (Src-Related kinase lacking C-terminal regulatory tyrosine and N-terminal Myristoylation Sites) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase first reported in a 1994 screen for genes regulating murine neural precursor cells. SRMS, pronounced "Shrims", lacks the C-terminal regulatory tyrosine critical for the regulation of the enzymatic activity of Src-family kinases (SFKs). Another remarkable characteristic of SRMS is its localization into distinct SRMS cytoplasmic punctae (SCPs) or GREL (Goel Raghuveera-Erique Lukong) bodies, a pattern not observed in the SFKs. This unique subcellular localization of SRMS could dictate its cellular targets, proteome, and potentially, substrates. However, the function of SRMS is still relatively unknown. Further, how is its activity regulated and by what cellula
