Abstract
We have identified a novel protein tyrosine kinase, cloned from rat in testinal mRNA, which is selectively expressed at high levels in intest inal cells, but is expressed at low or insignificant levels in a varie ty of other epithelial and non-epithelial organs. Gastrointestinal ass ociated kinase (GASK) mRNA is present at high levels in stomach, small intestine and colon. GASK may play an important role in the growth, d ifferentiation and/or development of the gastrointestinal tract.
