| Normal role description: | RYK is a receptor tyrosine kinase. It may interact with FZD8 and wnt signalling. It is also implicated in neuronal differentiation and development and corpus callosum establishment. H-RYK was found to be overexpressed in ovarian cancer and increased with cancer progression. |
