Descriptor English: Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-Based Activation Motif
Descriptor Spanish: Motivo de Activación del Inmunorreceptor Basado en Tirosina
Descriptor motivo de activación de inmunorreceptores basado en tirosina
Entry term(s) motivo ITAM
motivo activador de inmunorreceptores dependiente de tirosina
Scope note: SECUENCIA DE AMINOÁCIDOS conservada que se localiza en dominios intracelulares de una familia de proteínas transmembrana involucrada en diversas RESPUESTAS INMUNOLÓGICAS. La SECUENCIA DE CONSENSO de este motivo es YXXL(o I)X(6-8)YXXL(o I) (donde X puede ser cualquier aminoácido). Cuando motivos ITAM fosforilados disponen de puntos de acoplamiento para PROTEÍNA TIROSINA CINASAS de la familia Syk se forman complejos de señalización que llevan a la activación de respuestas inmunológicas.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D061625
Scope note: A conserved AMINO ACID SEQUENCE located in the intracellular domains of a family of transmembrane proteins involved in various IMMUNE RESPONSES. The CONSENSUS SEQUENCE of this motif is YXXL(or I)X(6-8)YXXL(or I) (where X denotes any amino acid). When phosphorylated ITAM motifs provide docking sites for PROTEIN TYROSINE KINASES of the Syk family thus forming signaling complexes which lead to activation of immune responses.
