ITK
an intracellular tyrosine kinase of the Tec family expressed in T-cells. Plays an essential role in regulation of the adaptive immune response. Contains both SH2 and SH3 domains and plays a role in T-cell proliferation and differentiation. Regulates the development, function and differentiation of conventional T-cells and nonconventional NKT-cells. Is recruited to the cell membrane following activation of the T-cell receptor (TCR). It is phosphorylated by LCK, followed by autophosphorylation leading to its full activation. Phosphorylates PLCG1. Itk-deficient murine T cells display defects in TCR/CD3-induced actin polymerization. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
