Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionlin-18 encodes a predicted receptor tyrosine kinase that is a member of the Ryk/Derailed family of tyrosine kinase-related receptors (OMIM:600524, mutations in humans are associated with cleft palate); in C. elegans, LIN-18 is required for establishing the polarity of the secondary vulval cell lineage produced by the P7.p vulval precursor cell; LIN-18 may be a receptor for Wnt-like signaling molecules, and in vulval development appears to function independently of, but in parallel with, LIN-17, a Frizzled-like Wnt receptor, also required for proper orientation of the P7.p lineage; a lin-18 reporter gene is expressed in body wall muscle, neurons, and the developing vulva; in the vulva, expression is detected in P5.p, P6.p, and P7.p and all of their descendants during the L3 and L4 larval stages.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00000762

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including asymmetric protein localization involved in cell fate determination; axis specification; and positive regulation of axon guidance. Located in cytoplasm; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Expressed in body wall musculature; neurons; vulva; and vulval precursor cell. Is an ortholog of human RYK (receptor like tyrosine kinase).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
