Background
Tyrosine-protein kinase ITK/TSK, also known as Lyk or IL2-inducible T cell kinase, is a cytosolic tyrosine kinase expressed in T cells. ITK contains protein binding domains SH2 and SH3, which allows the kinase to be recruited by tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins, notably upon activation of the T Cell Receptor (TCR). It plays an important in TCR signal transduction pathways and ultimately leads to the activation of transcription factor NFAT (nuclear activator of activated T cells), cytokine secretion, and T cell differentiation and expansion.
Storage/Stability
This assay kit will perform optimally for up to6 months from date of receipt when the materials are stored as directed.
Applications
Study enzyme kinetics and screen small molecular inhibitors for drug discovery and high throughput (HTS) applications.
BPS Bioscience assay kits are validated using the listed components according to our specific protocol. Any deviations to kit components or protocols, such as using different proteins, cell/tissue lysates, or buffers (including using the same component from other commercial sources) will void any warranties on the performance of the assay kit and is not recommended.
End-users should immediately report any issues to [email protected] upon receipt of the kit, such as missing components, damaged vials, no dry ice, etc.
