RTK
Noun
Meaning
RTK (uncountable)
(navigation, aviation) Initialism of real-time kinematic.
Examples
Binding of a ligand to the extracellular region causes a series of structural rearrangements in the RTK that lead to its enzymatic activation.
As is the case with GPCRs, proteins that bind GTP play a major role in signal transduction from the activated RTK into the cell.
Real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS techniques are used as well.
Signal transduction Integrins play an important role in cell signaling by modulating the cell signaling pathways of transmembrane protein kinases such as receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK).
The three main pathways that lead to its activation are GPCR pathways, RTK pathways, and gated ion channels; it regulates proteins either directly or by binding to an enzyme.
