Scientific Background: BTK is a protein-tyrosine kinase of the TK group and Tec family. It is a non-receptor kinase that is essential for B-cell development, differentiation, and function. In addition, BTK phosphotransferase activity is required for radiation induced apoptosis in immune cells. After B-cell receptor (BCR) activation, BTK translocates to the plasma membrane and is phosphorylated on Y551 catalyzed by the Lyn and Syk proteins, followed by autophosphorylation at Y223. Phosphorylation at Y223 and Y551 increases phosphotransferase activity.Phosphorylation at S180 causes translocation back to the cytoplasm, leading to downstream phosphorylation of PLCG2 at several conserved phosphosites and the stimulation of downstream calcium dependent signalling mechanisms. BTK is thought to act as a scaffold to bring together various intracellular signalling proteins to function in cytokine receptor signalling pathways. In immune cells, BTK is a vital component of the toll-like receptor (TLR) pathway, which is the primary system used to identify pathogens and activate host defence systems.
