BTK

Bruton tyrosine kinase

BTK (Bruton tyrosine kinase), also known as tyrosine-protein kinase BTK, is a TEC-family non-receptor tyrosine kinase central to B-cell receptor signalling and B-lymphocyte development.

About BTK

Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.

Biology

Biological function

Following B-cell receptor engagement, BTK is activated at the plasma membrane and phosphorylates PLCG2, promoting calcium mobilization and downstream protein kinase C signalling. This kinase activity is central to B-cell activation, differentiation and immune signalling.

Experimental context

Research context

BTK is a core target in studies of B-cell receptor pathways, B-lymphocyte development, kinase signalling and immune-cell activation. Abmium catalogue products linked below should be evaluated for species, sample type, assay format, application and product-specific validation.
