PMID:15331118 ZAP-70 subsequently phosphorylates adaptor proteins, such as the linker for activated T cells (LAT), which in turn mobilize other adaptor proteins or enzymes to amplify and to transmit signals downstream through different stages and ultimately lead to the activation of different nuclear transcription factors necessary for cytokine gene transcription.
