Phospho-Btk (Tyr551) rabbit mAb FITC conjugate Antibody

Btk is a major node in the B-cell receptor signaling pathway, where it regulates B cell maturation, activation, survival, differentiation, and proliferation. Btk is activated by Src family kinases, including Lyn, which phosphorylates Btk at Tyr551. Upon phosphorylation at this site, Btk is recruited to the plasma membrane where autophosphorylation at Tyr223 occurs. The Btk signaling pathway is a major target of small molecule inhibitors for B-cell lymphoma, autoimmune diseases, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. These inhibitors either form a covalent bond at Cys481 in the ATP-binding site or serve as reversible inhibitors that bind the SH3 pocket and stabilize inactive Btk.
