Abstract

An orphan receptor tyrosine kinase family whose members serve as nonintegrin collagen receptors.

Molecular cell, 1997; PubMed, Homo sapiens COL5A1 — Homo sapiens DDR2
ABSTRACT: Mammalian cells constantly monitor and respond to a myriad of extracellular signals, often by using cell surface receptors. Two important classes of cell surface receptors include the receptor tyrosine kinases, which recognize peptide growth factors such as insulin, and the integrins, which most often mediate binding to components of the extracellular matrix. We report that the collagens serve as ligands for the previously orphan family of discoidin domain-containing receptor-like tyrosine kinases. The unexpected realization that an extracellular matrix molecule can directly serve as a ligand for receptor tyrosine kinases provides an example of ligands shared by integrins and receptor tyrosine kinases, and this finding seems likely to change prevailing views about the mechanisms by which cells perceive and respond to the extracellular matrix.
