Source: NCBI Gene (ID 3702)
Symbol: ITK
Full name: IL2 inducible T cell kinase
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: EMT; LPFS1; LYK; PSCTK2
Summary: This gene encodes an intracellular tyrosine kinase expressed in T-cells. The protein contains both SH2 and SH3 domains which are often found in intracellular kinases. It is thought to play a role in T-cell proliferation and differentiation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
