    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in T cell activation
  • involved in the intracellular signaling mechanisms of cytokine receptors, lymphocyte surface antigens, heterotrimeric G-protein coupled receptors, and integrin molecules
  • playing an essential role in phospholipase Cgamma (PLCgamma) activation following antigen receptor stimulation
  • regulate activation of the MAPKs in other cell systems, and may be an upstream component of the signaling pathway leading to LPS-induced MAPKs activation in neutrophils (Zemans 2009)
  • principal kinase of the Tec family that plays a major role in the responses of neutrophils to monosodium urate monohydrate crystals, which are likely to be involved in the initiation and perpetuation of gout (Popa-Nita 2008)
  • may regulate hepatocyte differentiation and is involved in HGF signaling
  • promotes the Erk-MAPK signaling pathway and acts downstream of MEK1 kinase but upstream of ERK kinase in HGF signaling
