    basic FUNCTION
  • non myristoylated cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, playing a role in lymphocyte activation
  • nonredundant role for ZAP70 in signals induced by the T cell antigen receptor (TCR)
  • is a tyrosine kinase that plays a role in signal transduction from the T-cell receptor
  • ZAP70 inhibits SYK-mediated osteoclast function
  • critical role of ZAP70 in T-cell receptor (TCR) signalling
  • distinct roles for ZAP70 as a structural protein regulating integrin-mediated control of actin vs its catalytic activity that regulates TCR-mediated control of actin and membrane remodelling during formation of the immunological synapse
  • kinase activity of ZAP70 stimulates negative feedback pathways that target LCK and thereby modulate the phosphorylation patterns of the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) of the CD3 and zeta chain components of the TCR
  • potential role for ZAP70 dependent signaling in CD27 induction, implicating CD27 in cell-cell interactions with the lymphoid tissue microenvironment
  • differential requirements of ZAP70 and SYK during thymic development, peripheral homeostasis as well as effector functions of CD4 and CD8 T cells (PMUID: 26187144)
  • OTUD7B is a positive regulator of TCR-proximal signaling and T cell activation, highlighting the importance of deubiquitination in regulating ZAP70 function
  • LAT, like CD247 and ZAP70, plays likely a role in neurogenesis and that perturbation of this pathway may lead to neurodevelopmental phenotypes
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
    a component
  • ITGB2/LCK/ZAP70 complex is in position to initiate the rapid adhesion strengthening and migration necessary for T-lymphocyte responses when stimulated vasculature is encountered at sites of infection or injury
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding LAT (linker adaptor protein) linking T cell receptor to cellular activation
  • interacting with DBNL
  • ITGB2 is constitutively associated with the protein tyrosine kinases LCK and ZAP70
  • UBASH3A regulates the level of tyrosine phosphorylation on targets within T cells, among them the critical T cell tyrosine kinase ZAP70
  • GNAI2 and ZAP70 mediate RASGRP1 membrane localization and activation of CXCL12-induced T cell functions
  • NCK1 recruitment to the TCR required for ZAP70 activation during thymic development
  • soluble CD52 bound to the inhibitory receptor SiGLEC10 and impaired phosphorylation of the T cell receptor-associated kinases LCK and ZAP70 and T cell activation
  • ZAP70 acts directly as an amplifier of NFKB1 signalling in Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) cells which could be an underlying mechanism for its association with poor prognosis and which may represent a therapeutic target
  • interaction of FYB1 and ZAP70 is inducible upon stimulation either of the T cell receptor (TCR) or by chemokine
  • upon TCR ligation, OTUD7B is rapidly recruited to the tyrosine kinase ZAP70, a central mediator of TCR-proximal signaling
  • USP9X functions as a positive regulatory switch during T lymphocyte priming through removal of inhibitory monoubiquitination from ZAP70
