ITAM 

Immunoreceptor Try-based Activation Motif is a region in the cytoplasmic tail region where it is a mediator of intracellular signals and also a domain in the signaling chain that consists of protein and receptors. 


TCR

T-cell receptor is a complex containing integral membrane proteins which helps in the activation of T-cells in response to antigens.

This is an important function that takes place in the Golgi apparatus and in the endoplasmic reticulum where it plays a role in the biosynthetic secretory pathway. About half of proteins that are expressed in cells undergo this change with sugar fragments covalently added to specific amino acids.
