The protein encoded by this gene localizes to focal adhesions, regions of the plasma membrane where the cell attaches to the extracellular matrix. This protein crosslinks actin filaments and contains a Src homology 2 (SH2) domain, which is often found in molecules involved in signal transduction. This protein is a substrate of calpain II. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015],function:May be involved in cell migration, cartilage development and in linking signal transduction pathways to the cytoskeleton.,PTM:Rapidly cleaved by calpain II.,PTM:Tyrosine phosphorylated.,similarity:Contains 1 C2 tensin-type domain.,similarity:Contains 1 phosphatase tensin-type domain.,similarity:Contains 1 SH2 domain.,subunit:Binds to actin filaments and interacts with phosphotyrosine-containing proteins. Interacts with STARD8.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous.,
