We and others have identified a role for STK receptor tyrosine kinase in regulating macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses as well as identified a naturally-occurring truncated form of STK (Sf-STK) as a susceptibility gene for Friend virus-induced erythroleukemia.  The current focus of our research is to understand the signals induced by STK that mediate these diverse biological responses.
