| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including T cell receptor signaling pathway; gamma-delta T cell activation; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within NK T cell differentiation. Located in cell-cell junction and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lymphoproliferative syndrome 1. Orthologous to human ITK (IL2 inducible T cell kinase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display decreased percentages of CD4 and CD8 cells, increased percentage of B cells, impaired T cell receptor signaling, and increased susceptibility to Toxoplasma gondii infection.
