FES is a protooncogene that encodes a protein-tyrosine kinase distinct from c-Src, c-Abl and other nonreceptor tyrosine kinases. FES was originally identified as the cellular homolog of several transforming retroviral oncoproteins . FES plays a role in regulating cytoskeletal rearrangements and inside out signalling that accompany receptor ligand, cell matrix and cell-cell interaction. Genetic analysis using transgenic mouse model implicate FES in the regulation of inflammation and innate immunity . FES modulates the innate immune response of macrophages to LPS challenge, in part, by regulating the internalization and down-regulation of the TLR4 receptor complex.
