Venus Kinase Receptors at the crossroads of insulin signaling: their role in reproduction for helminths and insects
Venus kinase receptors (VKRs) are invertebrate receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) first discovered in the human parasite Schistosoma. They contain an extracellular Venus FlyTrap (VFT) module similar to the ligand-binding domain of G protein-coupled receptors of class C and an intracellular tyrosine ki...
