ROR1 Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q01973

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ROR1

Target Full Name

Inactive tyrosine-protein kinase transmembrane receptor ROR1

Target Function

Has very low kinase activity in vitro and is unlikely to function as a tyrosine kinase in vivo. Receptor for ligand WNT5A which activate downstream NFkB signaling pathway and may result in the inhibition of WNT3A-mediated signaling. In inner ear, crucial for spiral ganglion neurons to innervate auditory hair cells.

Target Involvement

Deafness, autosomal recessive, 108 (DFNB108)

Target Subcellular Location

Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cell projection, axon.

Target Protein Families

Protein kinase superfamily, Tyr protein kinase family, ROR subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed strongly in human heart, lung and kidney, but weakly in the CNS. Isoform Short is strongly expressed in fetal and adult CNS and in a variety of human cancers, including those originating from CNS or PNS neuroectoderm.

Target Research Area

Target Background

This gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor that modulates neurite growth in the central nervous system. The encoded protein is a glycosylated type I membrane protein that belongs to the ROR subfamily of cell surface receptors. It is a pseudokinase that lacks catalytic activity and may interact with the non-canonical Wnt signalling pathway. This gene is highly expressed during early embryonic development but expressed at very low levels in adult tissues. Increased expression of this gene is associated with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
