Gene: TEC

Alternate names for this Gene: PSCTK4

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Tec family of non-receptor protein-tyrosine kinases containing a pleckstrin homology domain. Tec family kinases are involved in the intracellular signaling mechanisms of cytokine receptors, lymphocyte surface antigens, heterotrimeric G-protein coupled receptors, and integrin molecules. They are also key players in the regulation of the immune functions. Tec kinase is an integral component of T cell signaling and has a distinct role in T cell activation. This gene may be associated with myelodysplastic syndrome.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 4

Location in Chromosome : 4p12-p11

Description of this Gene: tec protein tyrosine kinase

Type of Gene: protein-coding
