Human Gene Set: GOCC_IMMUNOLOGICAL_SYNAPSE

For the Mouse gene set with the same name, see GOCC_IMMUNOLOGICAL_SYNAPSE

Standard name GOCC_IMMUNOLOGICAL_SYNAPSE
Systematic name M17012
Brief description An area of close contact between a lymphocyte (T-, B-, or natural killer cell) and a target cell formed through the clustering of particular signaling and adhesion molecules and their associated membrane rafts on both the lymphocyte and the target cell and facilitating activation of the lymphocyte, transfer of membrane from the target cell to the lymphocyte, and in some situations killing of the target cell through release of secretory granules and/or death-pathway ligand-receptor interaction.
