Abstract
The Tec kinase Btk is an important regulator of antigen receptor activation of phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma). Data from Carpenter and colleagues (Saito et al., this issue of Immunity) now suggest that Btk also activates phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K), thereby stimulating a positive feedback loop that generates PI(4,5)P2, the substrate for both phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and PLC-gamma.Entities:
