Biolegend, 693506, Alexa Fluor® 488 anti-ZAP-70 Antibody

ZAP-70 is a 70kD protein expressed near the surface membrane of T-cells and NK cells. It is part of the intracellular signaling mechanism of the T-cell receptor, and plays integral role in T-cell signaling where it interacts with CD3-ζ to phosphorylate transmembrane protein LAT, which facilitates the binding of many signaling proteins. ZAP-70 plays a key role in the activation of T-cells, and their subsequent proliferation, differentiation, and production of cytokines in response to varied stimuli. It is used clinically as a prognostic marker helping differentiate the various types of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
