MeSH definition : A conserved AMINO ACID SEQUENCE located in the intracellular domains of a family of
transmembrane proteins that negatively regulate the signal transduction processes
emanating from transmembrane proteins containing IMMUNORECEPTOR TYROSINE-BASED ACTIVATION
MOTIFS. The CONSENSUS SEQUENCE of this motif is I(or V)LXYXXL(or V) (where X denotes
any amino acid). Also known as ITIM motifs.;
MeSH synonym : immunoreceptor tyrosine based inhibition motif; Immuno-Receptor Tyrosine-Based inhibition motif; immuno receptor tyrosine based inhibition motif; immune receptor Tyrosine-Based inhibition motif; immune receptor tyrosine based inhibition motif;
