BTK Small Molecules and Peptides

Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk) is a 75 kDa cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase that is widely expressed in hematopoietic cells. Btk is required for B cell receptor signaling and B cell development. Defects in Btk result in X-linked agammaglobulinemia which is characterized by a severely decreased level of circulating antibodies. Like other Tec family kinases, Btk contains a Pleckstrin homology domain, a Tec homology domain, an SH3 domain, an SH2 domain, and a protein kinase domain. Association of ...
