Non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase that plays an essential role in the selection and maturation of developing T-cells in the thymus and in the function of mature T-cells. Plays a key role in T-cell antigen receptor (TCR)-linked signal transduction pathways. Constitutively associated with the cytoplasmic portions of the CD4 and CD8 surface receptors. Association of the TCR with a peptide antigen-bound MHC complex facilitates the interaction of CD4 and CD8 with MHC class II and class I molecules, respectively, thereby recruiting the associated LCK protein to the vicinity of the TCR/CD3 complex. LCK then phosphorylates tyrosine residues within the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAM) of the cytoplasmic tails of the TCR-gamma chains and CD3 subunits, initiating the TCR/CD3 signaling pathway. Once stimulated, the TCR recruits the tyrosine kinase ZAP70, that becomes phosphorylated and activated by LCK. Following this, a large number of signaling molecules are recruited, ultimately leading to lymphokine production. LCK also contributes to signaling by other receptor molecules. Associates directly with the cytoplasmic tail of CD2, which leads to hyperphosphorylation and activation of LCK. Also plays a role in the IL2 receptor-linked signaling pathway that controls the T-cell proliferative response. Binding of IL2 to its receptor results in increased activity of LCK. Is expressed at all stages of thymocyte development and is required for the regulation of maturation events that are governed by both pre-TCR and mature alpha beta TCR. Phosphorylates other substrates including RUNX3, PTK2B/PYK2, the microtubule-associated protein MAPT, RHOH or TYROBP. Interacts with FYB2 (PubMed:27335501).

Lck also known as lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase plays an important role in T-cell activation. It serves as an enzyme and is integral in the signal transduction of the immune system. Lck has a molecular weight of approximately 56 kDa. It is expressed predominantly in T lymphocytes and is part of the Src family kinases. This protein is important in phosphorylating substrates leading to downstream signaling events that are necessary for the proper immune function.
Lck initiates and propagates T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling cascades. It interacts with the CD4 and CD8 co-receptors and triggers the activation of other kinases within the cell. Lck as part of a signaling complex associates with proteins such as ZAP-70 and LAT facilitating the assembly of larger molecular machines necessary for immune responses. Its activity is tightly regulated by phosphorylation with key sites being tyrosine 394 and 505.
The Lck protein plays an essential role in TCR signaling and immune responses. It actively participates in the Lck signaling pathway setting off cascades that lead to T-cell activation and differentiation. It interacts closely with other proteins like Fyn and Src making sure that the pathway progresses correctly. In conjunction with the immune synapse Lck ensures the transmission of signals that allow the T-cells to respond to external antigens efficiently.
Defective Lck activity can contribute to immunodeficiencies and autoimmune diseases. Proper Lck function is linked to conditions like Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) and lupus. Dysregulation in Lck activity may also affect proteins such as ZAP-70 worsening disease progression. Understanding Lck's participation in these conditions can lead to better therapeutic interventions and aid in developing targeted treatments for immune-related disorders.
