    ​The cytoplasmic domain of the receptor of which of the following proteins does NOT function as tyrosine kinase?​
    Question

    The cytoplasmic domain of the receptor of which of the following proteins does NOT function as tyrosine kinase?

    A.

    Epidermal growth factor

    B.

    Platelet derived growth factor

    C.

    Insulin

    D.

    Asialoglycoprotein

    Correct option is D

    Explanation-

    Asialoglycoprotein (option d) is not a growth factor. It binds to the Asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR), a liver-specific receptor. ASGPR is involved in endocytosis and clearing glycoproteins, but does not have tyrosine kinase activity. So, it does not function as tyrosine kinase 

    Other options-

    Option a - Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)
    Receptor: EGF Receptor (EGFR)
    EGFR is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK). Upon binding EGF, it undergoes autophosphorylation on tyrosine residues, triggering downstream signaling. It functions as tyrosine kinase 
    Option b - Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)
    Receptor: PDGF Receptor
    It is also a receptor tyrosine kinase. Dimerization and autophosphorylation initiate multiple signaling pathways. It functions as tyrosine kinase
    Option c - Insulin
    Receptor: Insulin Receptor
    Another classic receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK). Binding of insulin activates tyrosine kinase activity in the cytoplasmic domain. It functions as tyrosine kinase .

    So, the correct answer is option d - Asialoglycoprotein.
