Product Specific Information

This antibody detects endogenous levels of Lck only when phosphorylated at Tyrosine 505.

Target Information

LCK is a member of the Src-family tyrosine kinases, essential for signaling through the T-cell receptor (TCR) complex. Upon TCR triggering, LCK phosphorylates ITAM motifs in the zeta subunits, creating binding sites for ZAP70 SH2 domains. ZAP70 is subsequently phosphorylated and activated by LCK, leading to downstream signaling via adaptor LAT phosphorylation.

Most LCK is localized to the plasma membrane, but a portion associates with the Golgi apparatus, potentially contributing to Raf activation under weak TCR stimulation. LCK contains N-terminal myristylation and palmitylation sites, a PTK domain, and SH2/SH3 domains that mediate protein-protein interactions. It also plays a role in apoptosis regulation induced by various stimuli, excluding death receptor pathways.

Diseases associated with LCK include Immunodeficiency 22 and CD45 deficiency. Alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
