  Tyrosine kinase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A tyrosine kinase (EC 2.7.1.112) is an enzyme that can transfer a phosphate group to a tyrosine residue in a protein; these enzymes are a subgroup of the larger class of protein kinases.
The hormones that act on tyrosine kinase receptors are generally growth hormones and factors that promote cell division (e.g., insulin, insulin-like growth factor 1, epidermal-derived growth factor).
An example is PDB 1IRK, the crystal structure of the tyrosine kinase domain of the human insulin receptor.

 Kinase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In biochemistry, a kinase is a type of enzyme that transfers phosphate groups from high-energy donor molecules, such as ATP, to specific target molecules (substrates); the process is termed "phosphorylation".
Generally, the purpose of phosphorylation is to "activate" or "energize" a molecule, increasing its energy so it is able to participate in a subsequent reaction with a negative free energy change.
The largest group of kinases is Protein kinases, which act on and modify the activity of specific proteins.
