Abstract excerpt
FGFR3 encodes a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase that has six autophosphorylation sites of tyrosine. Among them, Y770 is a negative regulatory site for the downstream signaling of FGFR3. Constitutive active mutations in FGFR3 are involved in human developmental disorders including familial acanthosis nigricans, an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by general hyperpigmentation with mild acanthosis of...
