Function
LAT2, also known as NTAL or LAB, is a transmembrane adaptor protein involved in the signaling pathways of various immune cells. In mast cells, LAT2 plays a role in FCER1 (high affinity immunoglobulin epsilon receptor)-mediated signaling. Additionally, it may participate in BCR (B-cell antigen receptor)-mediated signaling in B-cells and FCGR1 (high affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc receptor I)-mediated signaling in myeloid cells. LAT2 acts as a crucial link, connecting the activation of these receptors and their associated kinases to downstream intracellular events through the recruitment of GRB2.
