Cloning of a novel signal-transducing adaptor molecule containing an SH3 domain and ITAM

Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 1996 Aug 23;225(3):1035-9. doi: 10.1006/bbrc.1996.1290.

Abstract

We molecularly cloned a cDNA coding for a novel phosphotyrosine molecule with a 70 kDa molecular mass, named STAM (signal transducing adaptor molecule), which is tyrosine-phosphorylated rapidly after stimulation with various cytokines such as IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-7, GM-CSF, EGF and PDGF. STAM contains an SH3 (Src-homology 3) domain and the ITAM (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif), suggesting that STAM acts as an adaptor molecule involved in signal transducing pathways from the cytokine receptors.
