Non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase TYK2 (TYK2)
- Target
- TYK2
- Molecular classification
- Enzyme, Protein kinase, Janus kinase (JAK), Non-receptor tyrosine kinase
01
Overview
Non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase TYK2 is a central regulator within multiple cytokine signaling pathways essential for immune system function. It acts through association with specific receptor complexes at the plasma membrane where it activates downstream effectors such as STATs via phosphorylation events triggered upon ligand binding.
- Other names
- Tyrosine kinase 2
02
Mechanism of action
TYK2 inhibitors block the kinase activity of TYK2, preventing downstream signaling cascades, particularly those involving STAT proteins. This modulates immune responses.
