Itk IL2 inducible T cell kinase [ Mus musculus (house mouse) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 16428)
Symbol: Itk
Full name: IL2 inducible T cell kinase
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: Emt; Tcsk; Tsk
Summary: Predicted to enable non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including T cell receptor signaling pathway; activation of phospholipase C activity; and gamma-delta T cell activation. Acts upstream of or within NK T cell differentiation. Located in cell-cell junction and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lymphoproliferative syndrome 1. Orthologous to human ITK (IL2 inducible T cell kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
