Linker for activation of T cell 1, 36 kDa phospho tyrosine adapter protein, LAT 1, LAT1, Linker for activation of T cells, Linker for activation of T cells family member 1, p36 38, pp36.
Linker for activation of T cells (LAT) is an integral membrane protein (36 to 38 kD), which plays an important role in linking engagement of the TCR to the biochemical events of T cell activation. LAT antibody stains thymus and peripheral lymphoid tissues such as T cell areas in lymph nodes and spleen. LAT is expressed in T lymphocytes in interstitial spaces, platelets and megakaryocytes. LAT is not expressed in B cells, macrophages, plasma cells, monocytes, epithelial histiocytes and dendritic cells.
