Btk Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables protein tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of gene expression; positive regulation of hypersensitivity; and regulation of B cell activation. Located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Used to study arthus reaction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in agammaglobulinemia (multiple); isolated growth hormone deficiency type III; and lymphoma (multiple). Orthologous to human BTK (Bruton tyrosine kinase).
