Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in T cell receptor signaling pathway; adaptive immune response; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within NK T cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleolus; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including hemolymphoid system; lung; male reproductive gland or organ; stomach mesentery; and vertebral axis musculature. Orthologous to human TXK (TXK tyrosine kinase).
