Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is critical for B-cell maturation and activation. Btk loss-of-function mutations cause human X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). In contrast, Btk signaling sustains growth of several B-cell neoplasms which may be treated with ...
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is a key component of BCR signaling required for B-cell maturation and activation. Loss-of-function mutations throughout the Btk protein cause human X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), a heritable genetic disorder characterize ...
Exclusive of membrane-proximal mutations seen commonly in chronic neutrophilic leukemia (e.g. T618I), functionally defective mutations in the extracellular domain of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor (CSF3R) have been reported only in seve ...
The phosphatase and tumor suppressor PTEN inhibits the phosphoinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway and plays a key role in cell growth, proliferation, survival, and migration. Pten conditional deletion using MxCre or Scl-CreERT leads to splenomegaly ...
