UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Adapter protein which may play a role in the regulation of apoptosis in response to PDGF.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with phosphorylated ‘Tyr-720’ of PDGFRA via its SH2 domain.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in skeletal muscle, brain, liver, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine and colon.
Post-translational modifications. May become phosphorylated upon binding to PDGFRA.
Miscellaneous. The sequence described in PubMed:11095946 is over-extended by 57 aa at the N-terminus due to the presence of an uncorrected 5’ mismatch compared to the reference genome sequence.
