Molecular Cloning and Assignment of FAK2, a Novel Human Focal Adhesion Kinase, to 8p11.2–p22 by Nonisotopicin SituHybridization

Abstract

This report describes the localization of a novel human focal adhesion kinase, FAK2, to human chromosome 8p11.2-p22 using in situ hybridization. The focal adhesion kinases are a subfamily of protein tyrosine kinases and aid in the transduction of ligands. 6 refs., 2 figs.
