Linker of activated T cells
The Linker for activation of T cells, also known as linker of activated T cells or LAT, is a protein involved in the T-cell antigen receptor signal transduction pathway which in humans is encoded by the ''LAT'' gene. Alternative splicing results ...
, a protein in the biochemical signaling path transferring signals from T cell antigen receptors

B-cell linker
The B-cell linker protein is encoded by the ''BLNK'' gene and is an adaptor protein also known as SLP-65, BASH, and BCA. BLNK is expressed in B cells and macrophages and plays a large role in B cell receptor signalling, in a fashion analogous t ...
