Lipid rafts: cell surface platforms for T cell signaling

The Src family tyrosine kinase Lck is essential for T cell development and T cell receptor (TCR)* signaling. Lck is post-translationally fatty acylated at its N-terminus conferring membrane targeting and concentration in plasma membrane lipid rafts, which are lipid-based organisational platforms. Co...

description The Src family tyrosine kinase Lck is essential for T cell development and T cell receptor (TCR)* signaling.
