Notes: These RTKs comprise a ligand-binding extracellular domain, a transmembrane link and an intracellular catalytic domain. Binding of growth factors to the extracellular domain leads to homo- or hetero-dimerization of the respective receptor, with subsequent activation of RTK activity and regulation of multiple key intracellular signaling substrates as shown in the Figure.
