Abstract excerpt
IL-2 inducible T-cell kinase (Itk) is a Tec family non-receptor tyrosine kinase involved in signaling downstream of the T-cell receptor. Itk contains an amino-terminal Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domain that binds phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate, recruiting Itk to the plasma membrane upon T-cell receptor activation. In addition to phosphoinositide binding, accumulating data suggest that the Itk PH domain...
