lymphocyte specific protein tyrosine kinase p56(lck) - CISMeF
Lymphocyte specific protein tyrosine kinase p56(lck)MeSH Descriptor
Preferred Label : lymphocyte specific protein tyrosine kinase p56(lck);
MeSH definition : This enzyme is a lymphoid-specific src family tyrosine kinase that is critical for
T-cell development and activation. Lck is associated with the cytoplasmic domains
of CD4, CD8 and the beta-chain of the IL-2 receptor, and is thought to be involved
in the earliest steps of TCR-mediated T-cell activation.;
MeSH synonym : c-lck, proto-oncogene protein; lck kinase; lck, proto-oncogene protein; protein c-lck, proto-oncogene; protein lck, proto-oncogene; proto oncogene protein c lck; proto oncogene protein lck; proto-oncogene protein c-lck; proto-oncogene protein lck; p56 lck; kinase, lck; protein tyrosine kinase p56(lck);
