GeneCardsFYNPROTEIN
Human Protein AtlasFYNPROTEIN
Unique domain (residues 1-85)Contains Fyn-specific sequences that mediate unique protein interactions, including binding to myelin proteins
SH3 domain (residues 85-143)Binds proline-rich motifs; participates in autoinhibitory conformation
SH2 domain (residues 150-225)Binds phosphotyrosine residues on regulatory proteins
C-terminal tailTyr531 (human) is phosphorylated by CSK for autoinhibition
Process extensionPromotes oligodendrocyte process outgrowth and wrapping around axons
Fyn knockout phenotypeMice lacking Fyn show hypomyelination, tremors, and motor coordination deficits (Umemori et al., 1994)[@umemori1994]
