This neuronal receptor tyrosine kinase is transiently expressed in specific regions of the central and peripheral nervous systems, playing a crucial role in nervous system development and differentiation. It also acts as a key regulator of body weight resistance, particularly in hypothalamic neurons, where it controls energy expenditure by negatively regulating white adipose tissue lipolysis and sympathetic tone to fine-tune energy homeostasis. Upon activation by the ALKAL2 ligand, it transduces extracellular signals into intracellular responses, activating the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Ligand binding induces tyrosine kinase activation, resulting in phosphorylation of CBL, FRS2, IRS1, SHC1, and MAPK1/ERK2, MAPK3/ERK1.
