    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION extracellular
        plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in development of epithelial tissue (early embryonic period)
  • is involved in cell proliferation, cell survival, and cell motility in both normal and disease states
  • has a tyrosine-protein kinase activity
  • playing an important role for cell proliferation, differentiation, and cancer development
  • regulates both the production of and response to IFN-gamma, resulting in enhanced susceptibility to endotoxin challenge
  • may have has two alternative modes of signaling that can contribute to oncogenic behavior in normal breast epithelial cells
  • potentially involved in mesangial cell proliferation under both physiological and pathological conditions, and may be a relevant target for therapeutic intervention
  • plays a critical role in regulation of alveolar macrophage signaling
  • important in modulating prostate tumor growth by modulating angiogenic chemokine production and subsequent endothelial cell recruitment
  • in a complex with EGFR, acts as a transcriptional regulator in response to acute disturbances (serum starvation) imposed on cancer cells
    • . MST1/MST1R signaling seems to play at least some role in the pathogenesis of Merkel cell carcinoma
  • MST1/MST1R play important roles in inflammation, cell growth, migration, and epithelial to mesenchymal transition during tumor development
    • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, proliferation/growth
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • heterodimer formed of an alpha chain and a beta chain which are disulfide linked
  • MST1/MST1R system promotes wound healing and invasive tumor growth and suppresses proinflammatory immune response
    • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • receptor for macrophage stimulating protein (MST1)
  • binds PLXNB1
  • associates with and is negatively regulated by HYAL2
  • downstream target of the EPOR, involved in the expansion of erythroblasts
  • DNAJA3 binds to unphosphorylated MST1R and becomes dissociated from the receptor upon HGF stimulation
  • DNAJA3(S) or Tid-1(S) is an essential regulatory component of MST1R signaling
  • CTNNB is a crucial downstream regulator of MST1R activation and is an important mediator of mammary tumorigenesis
  • TMPRSS11D is likely important for MST1-MST1R signaling in the respiratory tract
  • SRSF2 promotes exon 11 inclusion of MST1R proto-oncogene through targeting exon 11
  • MST1 through binding to its receptor, RON or MST1R), it can activate epithelial cells and work as an inflammatory mediator
