General description

LYN A is a member of the Src-family of protein kinases that participate in signaling pathways of a variety of cell surface receptors and are localized to the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane. LYN A is biosynthetically transported to the plasma membrane via the Golgi pool of caveolin along the secretory pathway. The trafficking of LYN A from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane is inhibited by deletion of the kinase domain but not by kinase inactivation. The kinase domain of LYN A plays a role in LYN A trafficking besides catalysis of substrate phosphorylation. cDNA microarray analysis revealed that LYN A may be involved in the changes that are related to tumor pathogenesis.
