Abstract excerpt
The focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and cell adhesion kinase beta (CAKbeta, PYK2, CADTK, RAFTK) are highly homologous FAK family members, yet clearly have unique roles in the cell. Comparative analyses of FAK and CAKbeta have revealed intriguing differences in their activities. These differences were investigated further through the characterization of a set of FAK/CAKbeta chimeric kinases. CAKbeta exhibited greater...
