About ALKAL2
Enables protein tyrosine kinase activator activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in cell surface receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway; positive regulation of MAPK cascade; and positive regulation of neuron projection development. Is active in extracellular space. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
