    text
  • ruffle
  • focal adhesion
  • basic FUNCTION
  • playing a central coordinating role for tyrosine-kinase based signaling related to cell-adhesion and induction of cell migration
  • acting as a signal transducer
  • being a key component in the netrin signal transduction pathway
  • playing an important role in guiding commissural axons
  • junction protein that is important to the adhesion between cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix
  • plays important roles in the invasion, metastasis and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma
  • role in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle contractility, cell migration, hypertrophy, and growth
  • act as scaffolds to regulate protein complexes controlling migration and chemotaxis, apoptosis, cell cycle, and differentiation, and is linked to a role in progenitor cell function
  • represents a nodal scaffold protein regulating cell survival, migration, and proliferation in normal and pathological cells
  • essential transducer in ERBB2 transformation
  • important role for Cas proteins in cell-cell adhesion signaling in development
  • new role for CAS proteins in cell-cell adhesion signaling in cancer
  • major tyrosine-phosphorylated protein in cells transformed by CRK and SRC oncogenes, playing an important role in invasiveness of SRC-transformed cells
  • BCAR1 and EZR are structural proteins with an important role in signaling pathways and have been shown to promote cancer dissemination
  • in Ovarian cancer, the role of EZR in disease progression is more pronounced than that of BCAR1
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, proliferation/growth
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
  • critical role for a novel NRP1-BCAR1 pathway in the regulation of chemotaxis
  • PTK6-BCAR1-MAPK7 signaling cascade plays an important role in cancer cell migration and invasion
  • a component
  • complexing with PTK2B, CKRL
  • forming complexes in vivo with focal adhesion kinase 1, adapter protein CRKL and LYN kinase
  • can heterodimerize with CASL
  • CAS scaffolding proteins (NEDD9, BCAR1, and CASS4) regulate cell migration, division and survival, and are often deregulated in cancer
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • NPHP4, PTK2B
  • interacting with BCAR3, NPHP1, PTK2B and SH2D3C
  • interacting with activated CSPG4
  • interacting with INPPL1/SHIP2
  • PTPRS interacting with PPFIA4, BCAR1, TRIO
  • physiological substrate of SYK
  • is a novel direct substrate of PTK6, and it works as a crucial adapter protein in inducing peripheral adhesion complexes
  • N-terminus of BCAR1 associates with the PTK2-WASL complex at the protrusive edge of the cell and the C-terminus of BCAR1 associates with the immobilized integrin-Src family kinases (SFKs) cluster
