G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCR) sense extracellular signals and activate different Guanine nucleotide binding proteins. Upon activation, the Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(q) subunit alpha class (GNAQ/GNA11/GNA14/GNA15) can bind directly to the THSH3 domain of the non-receptor Tyrosine-protein kinase BTK in vitro and in vivo. This binding results in a conformational change in BTK, which leads to its activation. Physiologically, BTK plays a key role in B lymphocyte development, differentiation and signalling.
