Tyrosine sulfation: a modulator of extracellular protein-protein interactions.
Tyrosine sulfation is a post-translational modification of many secreted and membrane-bound proteins. Its biological roles have been unclear. Recent work has implicated tyrosine sulfate as a determinant of protein-protein interactions involved in leukocyte adhesion, hemostasis and chemokine signaling.
