BTK Bruton tyrosine kinase

Gene ID: 695, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: AT; ATK; BPK; XLA; IMD1; AGMX1; IGHD3; PSCTK1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene plays a crucial role in B-cell development. Mutations in this gene cause X-linked agammaglobulinemia type 1, which is an immunodeficiency characterized by the failure to produce mature B lymphocytes, and associated with a failure of Ig heavy chain rearrangement. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]
