Phospho-Lck (Tyr505) (A3) rabbit mAb SureLight®488 conjugate

Lck is a member of the Src family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases and plays a major role in T cell activation. Lck activates many downstream signaling pathways including Akt/mTOR, SAPK/JNK, PLCγ1, and RAS/MAPK. Phosphorylation of Lck at Tyr394 in the catalytic domain at the ATP-binding site stabilizes the open and active form, while phosphorylation at Tyr505 in the C-terminal domain promotes the closed, inactive conformation. Multiple small-molecule drugs used to treat leukemia have been shown to target inhibition of Lck, including imatinib and dasatinib. Lck is thus a promising target for suppressing T-cell responses for the treatment of inflammatory diseases or after organ transplantation.
