Abstract:Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase, widely distributed in the cytoplasm of cells in the body. It can transmit signals from cell membrane receptors and intercellular growth factors, and participate in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation, adhesion and migration, proliferation and apoptosis, and other important biological processes. FAK is at the intersection of many signal transduction pathways in cells, and researchers have confirmed that it plays an important role in many systemic diseases. This review summarizes the general characteristics of FAK and its functions in ophthalmic diseases.
