MeSH definition : A Janus kinase subtype that is involved in signaling from a broad variety of CYTOKINE
RECEPTORS. The TYK2 kinase is considered the founding member of the janus kinase family
and was initially discovered as a signaling partner for the INTERFERON ALPHA-BETA
RECEPTOR. The kinase has since been shown to signal from several INTERLEUKIN RECEPTORS.;
MeSH synonym : kinase, tyk2; Tyrosine Kinase 2; Non-Receptor Tyrosine-Protein Kinase TYK2; non receptor tyrosine protein kinase tyk2;
