The Role of Src Kinase in Macrophage-Mediated Inflammatory Responses

Figure 3

The role of Src in immune cells. A combination of antigens, cytokines, adhesion molecules, lipid factors, and their different receptors relevant to immune cell development and inflammatory responses. Regardless of the stimulus and the receptor type, Src plays a critical role in recruiting a number of cell signaling molecules. Initiated and activated by the receptor, Src increases and varies the signal. Depending on the signal received, multiple pathways that influence cell migration, adhesion, phagocytosis, cell cycle, and cell survival are activated.
