TEC (Tyrosine-protein kinase Tec) is a protein kinase, an enzyme that switches other proteins on by adding phosphate groups. The public catalogues list it as a drug target and an oncogene driver, and an approved or late-stage drug is recorded against it. Tied to Oesophageal cancer and Oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Biology
Non-receptor tyrosine kinase that contributes to signalling from many receptors and participates as a signal transducer in multiple downstream pathways, including regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. Plays a redundant role to ITK in regulation of the adaptive immune response. Regulates the development, function and differentiation of conventional T-cells and nonconventional NKT-cells. Required for TCR-dependent IL2 gene induction. Phosphorylates DOK1, one CD28-specific substrate, and contributes to CD28-signalling. Mediates signals that negatively regulate IL2RA expression induced by TCR cross-linking. Location: Cytoplasm; Cell membrane; Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton (UniProt). Locus 4p12-p11 (HGNC).
