AffiAB® Anti-SCIMP PE [NVL-07]

Overview

SCIMP (SLP adaptor and Csk interacting membrane protein), also known as Nvl, is a palmitoylated transmembrane adaptor protein expressed in professional antigen presenting cells, most prominently in the lymph nodes and spleen. It is associated with tetraspanin-enriched microdomains (together with MHC II) . There is a close relationship between SCIMP and tyrosinkinase Lyn, which is constitutively bound to it by its SH3 domain. After MHC II-mediated stimulation in the immunological synapse SCIMP becomes phosphorylated at several tyrosine residues and provides docking sites for Grb2 and SLP65 or SLP76 adaptors transducing the signal downstream, as well as for the kinase Csk with modulatory roles.
