Tyrosine-protein kinase Tec (TEC)

Non-receptor tyrosine kinase that leads to signaling from many receptors and participates as a signal transducer in several downstream pathways, such as regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. Plays a redundant part to ITK in regulation of the adaptive immune reaction.

Regulates the development, function and differentiation of traditional T-cells and nonconventional NKT-cells. Required for TCR-dependent IL2 gene induction.
