| Title | Targeting Bruton's tyrosine kinase in B cell malignancies. | ||||||||||||

| URL | |||||||||||||
| Abstract Text | Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a key component of B cell receptor (BCR) signalling and functions as an important regulator of cell proliferation and cell survival in various B cell malignancies. Small-molecule inhibitors of BTK have shown antitumour activity in animal models and, recently, in clinical studies. High response rates were reported in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and mantle cell lymphoma. Remarkably, BTK inhibitors have molecular effects that cannot be explained by the classic role of BTK in BCR signalling. In this Review, we highlight the importance of BTK in various signalling pathways in the context of its therapeutic inhibition. | ||||||||||||

| BTK | NCBI | AGMX1|AT|ATK|BPK|IGHD3|IMD1|PSCTK1|XLA | BTK, Bruton tyrosine kinase, is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase involved in B-cell activation and development (PMID: 24658273). BTK is commonly overexpressed in various hematological malignancies (PMID: 24658273) and BTK mutations have been linked to BTK inhibitor drug resistance (PMID: 28235842). | Both: Oncogene and Tumor suppressor |
