nonreceptor tyrosine kinase that integrates signals from PI3K, receptor tyrosine kinases (VEGFR2, Tie-2, EGFR), FAK/Src, TNFR2, and G-protein-coupled receptors to regulate endothelial cell migration, angiogenesis, inflammatory cytokine production, cardiac hypertrophy, and cancer cell survival. Activated by PI3K-dependent membrane translocation via its PH domain or by Src-mediated transphosphorylation at Tyr566, BMX preferentially phosphorylates substrates containing a priming phosphotyrosine (pYY motif), thereby amplifying RTK activation loops and downstream AKT signaling; it also directly activates STAT3 (bypassing SOCS3 in glioblastoma stem cells), phosphorylates PAR1 to promote its internalization and attenuate vascular permeability, phosphorylates BAK to suppress apoptosis, and phosphorylates 3βHSD1 at Y344 to drive androgen biosynthesis in castration-resistant prostate cancer [PMID:9520419, PMID:23716717, PMID:29848664, PMID:31910739, PMID:25649765, PMID:36647826]. Beyond its catalytic roles, BMX functions as a kinase-independent scaffold within the TAK1-TAB signaling complex to mediate inflammatory NF-κB/MAPK signaling, as demonstrated by the differential phenotypes of Bmx-knockout versus kinase-inactive knock-in mice in arthritis models [PMID:21471444]. In vivo, Bmx-knockout mice exhibit impaired ischemia-induced arteriogenesis, resistance to pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy, and increased vascular permeability during sepsis, while BMX upregulation under androgen deprivation or hypoxia drives therapy resistance in prostate cancer and AML [PMID:16932810, PMID:18988895, PMID:30012673, PMID:29227282]."},"prefetch_data":{"uniprot":{"accession":"P51813","full_name":"Cytoplasmic tyrosine-protein kinase BMX","aliases":["Bone marrow tyrosine kinase gene in chromosome X protein","Epithelial and endothelial tyrosine kinase","ETK","NTK38"],"length_aa":675,"mass_kda":78.0,"function":"Non-receptor tyrosine kinase that plays central but diverse modulatory roles in various signaling processes involved in the regulation of actin reorganization, cell migration, cell proliferation and survival, cell adhesion, and apoptosis.

Induces tyrosine phosphorylation of BCAR1 in response to integrin regulation. Activation of BMX by integrins is mediated by PTK2/FAK1, a key mediator of integrin signaling events leading to the regulation of actin cytoskeleton and cell motility. Plays a critical role in TNF-induced angiogenesis, and implicated in the signaling of TEK and FLT1 receptors, 2 important receptor families essential for angiogenesis. Required for the phosphorylation and activation of STAT3, a transcription factor involved in cell differentiation. Also involved in interleukin-6 (IL6) induced differentiation. Also plays a role in programming adaptive cytoprotection against extracellular stress in different cell systems, salivary epithelial cells, brain endothelial cells, and dermal fibroblasts.
