Abstract excerpt
The B cell Ag receptor is a multimeric protein complex consisting of the ligand binding mlg and the Ig alpha/lg beta heterodimer. The cytoplasmic tails of Ig alpha and Ig beta both contain a consensus sequence termed the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). This motif is believed to play a critical role in the receptor-mediated signal transduction. To explore the role of ITAM in signaling for B...
