Abstract excerpt
We used the polymerase chain reaction to identify 7 novel tyrosine-kinase genes (dtk1 to -7) in Drosophila melanogaster, dtk4 coded for a part of the kinase catalytic domain nearly identical in sequence to that of the human receptor for insulin-like growth factor 1, whereas sequences encoded by dtk1 and dtk2 were highly homologous to that of the chicken fibroblast growth factor receptor.
