New insights into T-cell antigen receptor structure and signal transduction

Curr Opin Immunol. 1992 Jun;4(3):246-51. doi: 10.1016/0952-7915(92)90072-m.

Abstract

Recent studies have provided insights into how the complex structure of the T-cell antigen receptor relates to its signal transduction function. Both the CD3 and zeta subunits contain functioning signaling modules that regulate the activation of tyrosine kinases and phosphorylation of cellular substrates.
