basic FUNCTION
| tyrosine kinase |
|
involved in regulating antigen receptor induced serum response factor (SRF) activation |
|
critical role for ITK and TXK in conventional CD8(+) T cell development in the thymus |
|
ITK and TXK are required for efficient positive selection of conventional CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the thymus |
|
important role for ITK and TXK in the development of conventional as opposed to innate CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells |
|
play critical roles in helping shape immune responses via their effects on the differentiation and function of distinct cytokine-producing, effector T-cell populations |
|
serves as a modulator, or rheostat, critically fine-tuning the T cell response |
|
required for efficient replication of influenza virus in infected T-cells |
|
Tec-family kinase that regulates the spatiotemporal organization of components of T cell signaling pathways and CDC42-dependent actin polymerization |
|
ITK signaling promotes IRF4 up-regulation following CD8(+) T-cell activation and that this signaling pathway normally suppresses EOMES expression, thereby regulating the differentiation pathway of CD8(+) T cells |
|
critical for the recruitment of the kinase to the plasma membrane and its co-localization with the TCR-CD3 molecular complex |
|
catalyzes phosphorylation on tyrosine residues within a number of its natural substrates, including the well-characterized gamma783 of PLCG1 |
|
involved in T-cell proliferation and differentiation |
|
important for the activation of T cells via the T cell Receptor (TCR) |
