SCAP2 / PRAP Immunizing Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene shares homology with Src kinase-associated phosphoprotein 1, and is a substrate of Src family kinases. It is an adaptor protein that is thought to play an essential role in the Src signaling pathway, and in regulating proper activation of the immune system. This protein contains an amino terminal coiled-coil domain for self-dimerization, a plecskstrin homology (PH) domain required for interactions with lipids at the membrane, and a Src homology (SH3) domain at the carboxy terminus. Some reports indicate that this protein inhibits actin polymerization through interactions with actin assembly factors, and might negatively regulate the invasiveness of tumors by modulating actin assembly. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]
Uniprot Description
SKAP2: an ubiquitous adapter protein thought to play a role in the src signaling pathway. Contains a coiled-coil domain, a pleckstrin homology domain, and a SH3 domain. The SH3 domain binds to the proline-rich domain of Pyk2, inhibiting alpha-synuclein tyrosine phosphorylation. Can be phosphorylated by Src family kinases but not by Pyk2. Functions as a downstream target for Pyk2 and plays a role in alpha-synuclein phosphorylation. Negatively regulates alpha-synuclein phosphorylation following cell stress.
