ZAP 70, phosphorylated (Tyr492) (TCR Zeta Associated Protein kinase 70kD)

Zap-70, a Syk-family protein tyrosine kinase, plays a critical role in mediating T cell signal transduction in response to T cell receptor (TCR) activation (1). TCR-mediated activation of the Src-family kinases, Lck and Fyn, results in tyrosine phosphorylation of the TCR zeta and CD3 chains. These domains serve as targets for binding of ZAP-70 via its tandem SH2 domains. This binding correlates with activation of ZAP-70, a critical event in T cell activation (2). Following TCR engagement, ZAP-70 is phosphorylated on several tyrosine residues, presumably by two mechanisms: an autophosphorylation and a trans-phosphorylation by the Src-family tyrosine kinase, Lck. Lck phosphorylates Tyrosine 492 and 493 located at the activation loop of the catalytic domain of ZAP-70, leading to its activation and increased autophosphorylation (3)\n\nApplications: \nSuitable for use in Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation.
