| The protein encoded by this gene is expressed in B lymphocytes and contains pleckstrin homology and src homology 2 (SH2) domains. In Burkitts lymphoma cell lines, it is tyrosine-phosphorylated in response to B cell receptor stimulation. Because it binds Shc independent of stimulation and Grb2 after stimulation, it appears to play a role in signal transduction from the receptor to the Shc/Grb2 pathway. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009],function:Adapter protein for several members of the tyrosine kinase receptor family. Involved in multiple signaling pathways. May be involved in coupling from immunoreceptor to Ras signaling. Acts as a negative regulator of cytokine signaling in collaboration with CBL. Binds to EPOR and suppresses EPO-induced STAT5 activation, possibly through a masking effect on STAT5 docking sites in EPOR. Suppresses PDGF-induced mitogenesis. May induce cytoskeletal reorganization via interaction with VAV3.,PTM:Tyrosine phosphorylated by JAK2, KIT and other kinases activated by B-cell receptor in response to stimulation with cytokines, IL3, IL5, PDGF, IGF1, IGF2, CSF2/GM-CSF and cross-linking of the B-cell receptor complex.,similarity:Belongs to the SH2B adapter family.,similarity:Contains 1 PH domain.,similarity:Contains 1 SH2 domain.,subcellular location:Cytoplasmic before PDGF stimulation. After PDGF stimulation, localized at the cell membrane and peripheral region.,subunit:Interacts with several proteins including KIT/c-KIT, SHC, GRB2, EPOR, CBL/c-CBL, PDGFR, VAV1 and VAV3. Interacts with SHC through its N-terminal region, with GRB2 via the phosphorylated C-terminus and with EPOR and KIT via its SH2 domain. Interacts with GRB2 after B-cell antigen receptor stimulation. Interacts with VAV3 via its PH domain.,tissue specificity:Expressed in spleen, prostrate, testis, uterus, small intestine and skeletal muscle. Among haematopoietic cell lines, expressed exclusively in B-cells. Not expressed in most tumor cell lines., |
