Tyrosine kinase that plays an essential role in regulation of the adaptive immune response. Regulates the development, function and differentiation of conventional T-cells and nonconventional NKT-cells. When antigen presenting cells (APC) activate T-cell receptor (TCR), a series of phosphorylation lead to the recruitment of ITK to the cell membrane, in the vicinity of the stimulated TCR receptor, where it is phosphorylated by LCK. Phosphorylation leads to ITK autophosphorylation and full activation. Once activated, phosphorylates PLCG1, leading to the activation of this lipase and subsequent cleavage of its substrates. In turn, the endoplasmic reticulum releases calcium in the cytoplasm and the nuclear activator of activated T-cells (NFAT) translocates into the nucleus to perform its transcriptional duty. Phosphorylates 2 essential adapter proteins: the linker for activation of T-cells/LAT protein and LCP2. Then, a large number of signaling molecules such as VAV1 are recruited and ultimately lead to lymphokine production, T-cell proliferation and differentiation (PubMed:12186560, PubMed:12682224, PubMed:21725281). Required for TCR-mediated calcium response in gamma-delta T-cells, may also be involved in the modulation of the transcriptomic signature in the Vgamma2-positive subset of immature gamma-delta T-cells (By similarity). Phosphorylates TBX21 at 'Tyr-530' and mediates its interaction with GATA3 (By similarity).

ITK also known as Interleukin-2-inducible T-cell kinase is a protein belonging to the Tec family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases. It weighs approximately 72 kDa and plays a significant role in signal transduction in immune cells specifically T cells. ITK is widely expressed in lymphoid tissues particularly in thymocytes and peripheral T cells. ITK products often include variants like ITK-1 and ITK kit which are useful in various scientific applications.
ITK is integral to the activation and development of T cells which are critical components of the adaptive immune response. ITK functions as part of a larger signaling complex interacting with proteins such as LAT and SLP-76 to mediate downstream signaling events following T-cell receptor engagement. This interaction facilitates the phosphorylation of multiple substrates which is necessary for T-cell proliferation differentiation and cytokine production.
ITK plays an important role in T-cell receptor signaling and the downstream Ras/MAPK pathway. It interacts with proteins like ZAP-70 and LCK in these pathways which are important for initiating T-cell activation and function. The modulation of these pathways by ITK is essential for proper immune function and response to antigens.
ITK is linked to immunodeficiency and autoimmune disorders. Dysregulation of ITK activity can lead to conditions like X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus. The EMT protein also ties with ITK concerning certain neoplastic conditions where aberrant signaling contributes to the pathogenesis. Researchers study ITK's interactions with other proteins such as BSA EMT to understand its role in these diseases better and explore potential therapeutic targets.
