Its molecular function is described as: protein-tyrosine kinase activity; ATP binding; protein binding. It is involved in the biological processes described with 20 unique terms, many of which group under: anatomical structure development; gamete generation; ovarian nurse cell to oocyte transport; organelle organization and biogenesis; mating; embryonic development via the syncytial blastoderm; cell communication; transport; cellular macromolecule metabolic process; embryonic development ending in birth or egg hatching; actin filament-based process. 41 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 26 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system; cephalopharyngeal skeleton; anatomical structure; embryonic head; adult; actin cytoskeleton; embryonic/larval tracheal system; pharyngeal sclerite; embryonic foregut; embryonic tagma. It has 6 annotated transcripts and 6 annotated polypeptides.

Src2
Src transcripts abundant in early embryos and in adult ovaries; also found in imaginal disks. Level declines in later embryos and is low in males and ovarectomized females. Inferred to be maternally acting gene whose product is required for early embryogenesis (Wadsworth et al.). Monoclonal antibodies detect two protein products of Src2, a doublet of 66 kd and one of 55 kd; the 55 kd polypeptide appears to initiate at the third methionine codon of the sequence; a faint 95 kd band appears to track the 66 kd band in developmental Northern blots. Monoclonal antibodies that differentiate between the two protein products show that they are differentially regulated. The 66 kd polypeptide first appears at the periphery of cells of the cellular blastoderm; this staining is transiently resolved into 13 or 14 segmental stripes plus uncharacterized staining in the head region in the fully extended germ band; no 66 kd protein detectable after 12 h of development. The 55 kd polypeptide first appears at 4-6 h and is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Larvae transformed with constructs that produce either the 66 or the 55 kd products under Hsp70 promoter action display cell-surface localization of the 66 kd protein and cytoplasmic localization of the 55 kd protein in third-instar salivary glands.

Comments
In addition to the 66 and 55 kD Btk29A proteins, a 95 kD protein is observed on Western blots.
In addition to the SH2, SH3 and kinase domains it shares with the type 1 Btk29A protein, the type 2 Btk29A protein has the PH (Pleckstrin homology) and TH (Tec homology) domains that are characteristic of the Btk family of tyrosine kinases.
The 55kD gene product of Btk29A differs from the 66kD product by the absence of the 125 N-terminal amino acids. When expressed in Sf9 cells via a recombinant baculovirus system it does not exhibit detectable protein tyrosine-kinase activity. The p55 product lacks an N-terminal myristylation signal.
The 66kD protein appears as a doublet on Western blots.
