A lipid is one of the main components of skin cells and has recently been investigated as a controller that regulates a combination of proteins. A POSTECH and The University of Chicago  joint-research team found an interaction between lipids and the SH2 Domain. The research team includes Professor Kim You-Me (IBB), Dajung Jung (IBB Integrate.), Mijung Park (IBB Masters.), Prof. Wonhwa Cho (The University of Chicago), and Ren Sheng (The University of Chicago). The team will publish their findings on the combination of SH2 Domain and cell membrane lipids in Molecular Cell on Apr. 7.
SH2 Domain is usually found in proteins that control body’s  phenomenon related to producing protein. Through this domain, proteins related with the normal activities of cells are combined. Researches had tried to confirm whether the SH2 Domain combines with lipids. The team’s research finally confirmed this fact.
