Summary: Enables receptor ligand activity and transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including muscle cell fate specification; negative regulation of neuromuscular synaptic transmission; and nervous system development. Located in several cellular components, including cell surface; synaptic vesicle; and type I terminal bouton. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; embryonic myoblast; embryonic/larval neuromuscular junction; eye photoreceptor cell; and tract.

What's a GeneRIF?

DamID transcriptional profiling identifies the Snail/Scratch transcription factor Kahuli as an Alk target in the Drosophila visceral mesoderm.
Title: DamID transcriptional profiling identifies the Snail/Scratch transcription factor Kahuli as an Alk target in the Drosophila visceral mesoderm.
Role of Lmd transcription factor in visceral mesoderm development in relationship to Jeb/Alk signal transduction. Alk signalling negatively regulates Lmd activity through the MAPK cascade resulting in a relocalisation of Lmd from nucleus to cytoplasm.
Title: Jeb/Alk signalling regulates the Lame duck GLI family transcription factor in the Drosophila visceral mesoderm.
Jeb is a novel negative regulator of neuromuscular transmission.
Title: Jelly Belly trans-synaptic signaling to anaplastic lymphoma kinase regulates neurotransmission strength and synapse architecture.
The ligand Jelly Belly (Jeb) activates the Drosophila Alk receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) to drive PC12 cell differentiation, but is unable to activate the mouse ALK RTK.
Title: The ligand Jelly Belly (Jeb) activates the Drosophila Alk RTK to drive PC12 cell differentiation, but is unable to activate the mouse ALK RTK.
Alk is the receptor for Jeb in the developing visceral mesoderm, and Jeb binding stimulates an Alk-driven, extracellular signal-regulated kinase-mediated signalling pathway, resulting in the expression of duf needed for muscle fusion
Title: Jeb signals through the Alk receptor tyrosine kinase to drive visceral muscle fusion.
localized Jeb activates Alk and the downstream Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade to specify a select group of visceral muscle precursors as muscle-patterning pioneers
Title: Jelly belly protein activates the receptor tyrosine kinase Alk to specify visceral muscle pioneers.
these findings suggest that Jeb/Alk signaling helps R-cell axons to shape their environment for target recognition.
