Nonreceptor PTKs (Protein Tyrosine Kinases) are essential for the development and activation of B-Cells and T-Cells. The Tec kinases represent the second largest family of mammalian non-RTKs (Receptor Tyrosine Kinases), which are activated in blood cells by stimulation of Cytokine Receptors, Lymphocyte surface antigens, GPCR (G-Protein Coupled Receptors), receptor type PTKs, or Integrins (Ref.1). Tec family members include Tec, BTK (Bruton’s Tyrosine Kinase), ITK (IL-2-I...
