Focal cholesterol depletion during Fcγ receptor-mediated phagocytosis contributes to Lyn kinase regulation

Stella M. Lu, Allen Volchuk, Gregory D. Fairn

The paper shows that cholesterol depletion from the phagocytic cup during exocytosis displaces Lyn kinase, reducing phosphotyrosine signaling and regulating phagocytic signaling.
