Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) are a class of cell surface receptors that play a pivotal role in the regulation of various cellular processes. These receptors are integral membrane proteins that, upon binding with their specific ligands, undergo autophosphorylation on tyrosine residues in their intracellular domains. This autophosphorylation activates the RTKs, enabling them to trigger multiple intracellular signaling pathways.
