Immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif
An immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) is a conserved sequence of four amino acids that is repeated twice in the cytoplasmic tails of certain cell surface proteins of the immune system. The motif contains a tyrosine separated from a leucine by any two other amino acids, giving the signature YxxL.
