Abstract excerpt
The TEC family is ancient and constitutes the second largest family of cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases. In 1993, loss-of-function mutations in the BTK gene were reported as the cause of X-linked agammaglobulinemia. Of all the existing 90 tyrosine kinases in humans, Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is the kinase for which most mutations have been identified. These experiments of nature collectively provide a form of...
