Description

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase whose function is critical for proper B cell development and signaling. It is a member of the Tec family of kinases which includes Tec and Itk. This family is similar to the src family of tyrosine kinases. However, Tec family members lack the N-terminal myristylation site and the regulatory C-terminal tyrosine that are found in src proteins. In addition to an N-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, the Tec proteins contain Src homology domains 2 and 3 (SH2 and SH3) and a stretch of 60-80 amino acids between the PH and SH3 domains termed the Tec homology domain. The activity of Btk is regulated by Src-mediated phosphorylation of the kinase domain at tyrosine 551. This event induces Btk kinase activity and subsequent autophosphorylation at tyrosine 223 in the SH3 domain. Phosphorylated Btk then associates with the cell membrane via the interaction of the PH domain with phosphatidylinositol 3, 4, 5-triphosphate. The PH domain is essential for proper activation and function of Btk. A mutation in the PH domain results in Xid, murine X-linked immunodeficiency, and human X-linked agammaglobulinemia.
