Interleukin-2 tyrosine kinase, Itk, is an important member of the Tec family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases that play a central role in signaling through antigen receptors such as the T-cell receptor, B-cell receptor, and Fcepsilon. Selective inhibition of Itk may be an important way of modulating many diseases involving heightened or inappropriate activation of the immune system ...
