The Actin-Bundling Protein L-Plastin: A Critical Regulator of Immune Cell Function

Table 1

The kinases that regulate phosphorylation of LPL in response to various cell stimuli are listed, along with the inhibitor used to test the participation of each kinase. The kinases that phosphorylate LPL in other cell types, such as T cells and macrophages, have not yet been defined. References are numbered according to appearance in the text.
