Recombinant Human SH2 domain-containing protein 2A (SH2D2A)

Uniprot Id

Q9NP31

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SH2D2A

Target Full Name

SH2 domain-containing protein 2A

Target Function

Could be a T-cell-specific adapter protein involved in the control of T-cell activation. May play a role in the CD4-p56-LCK-dependent signal transduction pathway. Could also play an important role in normal and pathological angiogenesis. Could be an adapter protein that facilitates and regulates interaction of KDR with effector proteins important to endothelial cell survival and proliferation.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm.

Target Tissue Specificity

Expression limited to tissues of the immune system and, in particular, activated T-cells. Expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes, thymus and spleen. Much lower expression or undetectable, in brain, placenta, skeletal muscle, prostate, testis, ovary, sma

Target Background

This gene encodes an adaptor protein thought to function in T-cell signal transduction. A related protein in mouse is responsible for the activation of lymphocyte-specific protein-tyrosine kinase and functions in downstream signaling. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
