Description
Description: The monoclonal antibody 2F12 recognizes human, mouse, and rat ITK. ITK (also known as Interleukin-2 inducible T-cell kinase, T-cell-specific kinase, Tyrosine-protein kinase Lyk, Emt, and Tsk) is a member of the Tec family of kinases that include Tec, Btk, Bmx, and Txk. Tec family kinases play an indispensable role in activation of phospholipase C and activation of calcium-dependent signaling cascades following antigen receptor triggering. ITK is highly expressed by T cells and is required for optimal TCR-induced PLCgamma1 activation. Mice congenitally lacking ITK show profound defects in T cell development and signaling. Defects in ITK are the cause of lymphoproliferative syndrome EBV-associated autosomal type 1 (LPSA1). ITK also plays a role in the development of various T cell mediated inflammatory disorders such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and allergic asthma.
