Product details:
Although we aim to provide customers with a homozygous clone, feasibility will be dependent on the biology of the protein. Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

BTK or Bruton's tyrosine kinase is an important enzyme in the body that functions mainly in signaling pathways within cells. It is known for its involvement in the development and activation of B cells and is expressed in cells of the hematopoietic system. The BTK protein has a molecular weight of about 76 kDa. Researchers can study BTK using tools like the BTK ELISA kit which helps measure its presence in biological samples. Furthermore there are specific anti-BTK antibodies which assist in the detection of BTK bands during analysis. BTK inhibitors like BTK C481S have been developed to regulate its activity.
Biological function summary
BTK plays an important role in the immune response by transmitting signals from the B cell receptor to the inside of the cell which promotes B cell maturation and survival. It operates as part of a larger signal transduction complex that includes other proteins and molecules. For accurate quantification of BTK expression a BTK sandwich ELISA kit may be utilized capturing and revealing the BTK protein's presence in sample preparations.
Pathways
BTK associates with both the B cell receptor signaling and the PI3K-Akt pathway. These pathways are critical for the proper functioning and proliferation of B cells. BTK interacts with proteins like PLCγ2 and BLNK in the signaling cascade highlighting its central role in transmitting extracellular signals to elicit appropriate cellular responses.
BTK is closely linked to X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) a genetic condition marked by an absence of mature B cells. This highlights the connection between BTK function and immune competence. Moreover aberrant BTK activity has been implicated in some types of B cell malignancies such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The BTK pathway's dysregulation in these disorders may involve interactions with proteins like SYK suggesting that targeting BTK could offer therapeutic benefits in managing such conditions.
