Receptor tyrosine kinase

Single-pass transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase shown as one monomer in a clean schematic protein style. The receptor is vertically oriented with a large rounded or bulbous extracellular ligand-binding domain above the membrane, one slender straight alpha-helical membrane-spanning segment, and a larger intracellular kinase domain below. The overall shape is elongated and modular, with distinct extracellular, transmembrane, and cytoplasmic regions. The intracellular portion may include a longer tail with several tyrosine residues indicated as small branch-like side groups. Render in cool blue, teal, purple, or blue-green tones with smooth simplified contours.
