Linker for activation of T-cells family member 2, also known as WBSCR5 or NTAL is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LAT2 gene. It is mapped to 7q11.23. It has been found that NTAL associated with GRB2, SOS1 and GAB1 after B-cell receptor activation. Phosphorylation of NTAL was strongest in the presence of LCK, ZAP70, SYK, or LYNLAT2. NTAL is a structural and possibly a functional homolog of LAT in non-T cells. It also has been found that BLNK and LAT2 in B cells are a functionally equivalent pair to SLP76 and LAT in T cells. This gene consists of at least 14 exons, and its alternative splicing generates 3 transcript variants, all encoding the same protein. |
