Rabbit Anti-SLAP2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
SLA2 is a 261 amino acid protein that exists as four alternatively spliced isoforms which localize to either the cytoplasm or to the cell membrane and contain one SH2 domain and one SH3 domain. Expressed predominately in tissues of the immune system, including thymus, spleen and lymph nodes, SLA2 functions as an adaptor protein that negatively regulates T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling and may inhibit T-cell activation. SLA2 interacts with Zap-70 and is subject to post-translational phosphorylation. The gene encoding SLA2 maps to human chromosome 20. Comprising approximately 2% of the human genome, chromosome 20 contains nearly 63 million bases that encode over 600 genes, some of which are associated with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy, ring chromosome 20 epilepsy syndrome and Alagille syndrome.
Function:
Adapter protein, which negatively regulates T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling. Inhibits T-cell antigen-receptor induced activation of nuclear factor of activated T-cells. May act by linking signaling proteins such as ZAP70 with CBL, leading to a CBL dependent degradation of signaling proteins.
Subunit:
Interacts (via SH2 domain) with ZAP70 (phosphorylated) and CD3Z (phosphorylated). Interacts (via SH2 domain) with CSF1R (phosphorylated) (By similarity). Interacts (via its SLCterminal domain) with CBL (phosphorylated).
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm.
Tissue Specificity:
Predominantly expressed in immune system, with highest levels in peripheral blood leukocytes. Expressed in spleen, thymus and lymph nodes. Expressed in T-cells as well as in monocytes, and at low level in B-cells. Also detected in placenta, prostate, skin, retina and colon.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylated by CSF1R (By similarity).
Similarity:
Contains 1 SH2 domain.
Contains 1 SH3 domain.
