Answer:

Cell growth but also involved in cancer development

Explanation:

Tyrosine-kinase receptors are the main receptors for the growth hormones, but also cytokines and hormones. These receptors are regulators of normal cellular processes, but if a mutation occurs it can lead to activation of a series of signalling cascades that  change the gene expression. Consequently, this has a critical role in the development and progression of many types of cancer.
