Scientific Background: ITK is a protein-serine/threonine kinase that is a member of the TK group of protein kinases in the Tec family. This kinase is widely distributed from moderate to high levels in most human tissues with highest expression in bladder, lung, lymph node, spleen, stomach, thymus, tonsils and uterus. Ligation of CD2, TCR or CD28 induces activation and tyrosine phosphorylation of ITK at Y512. ITK is expressed in T-cells and is important for T-cell development and activation through the antigen receptor. ITK require prior activation of Lck, ZAP70 and PI3-kinase for efficient activation. ITK knockout mice show multiple effects on T cell development, cytokine production and T-helper cell differentiation. T cells that lack or express mutant versions of ITK show impaired TCR-induced actin polymerization, cell polarization and regulation of the signalling events involved in cytoskeletal reorganization. ITK has been linked with the development of gastric adenocarcinomas, melanoma (metastatic) and lymphoproliferative syndrome ebv-associated autosomal type 1 (LPSA1).
