Non-receptor tyrosine kinases or non-specific protein-tyrosine kinases are enzymes that can transfer a phosphate group from ATP to a tyrosine residue in a protein. Non-receptor tyrosine kinases are a subgroup of the larger class of tyrosine kinases. Phosphorylation of proteins by kinases is an important mechanism in signal transduction for regulation of enzyme activity.
