PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

motifs/domains
  • N-terminal proline-rich region,
  • a Ras-GTPase binding domain,
  • a PH domain, mediating GRB7 binding to phospholipids
  • an SH2 domain and a BPS domain in between the PH and SH2 domains , and SH2 can directly bind to the autophosphorylated PDGF beta-receptor
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to C.elegans newly identified gene
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • GRB7/10/14 family
  • CATEGORY adaptor , regulatory

    basic FUNCTION
  • mediating the coupling of multiple cell surface receptors to downstream signaling pathways in the regulation of various cellular functions
  • has potential importance in the progression of cancer
  • implicated as a downstream mediator of integrin-PTK2 signal pathways in the regulation of cell migration
  • implicated in PDGF signaling pathways in certain cell types by binding to the receptor directly or indirectly via SHC1
  • plays an important role in hepatocellular carcinoma progression and is strongly associated with expression of FAK

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein interaction with both LY6G6F and GRB2 is mediated through its Src homology 2 domains and is dependent on the phosphorylation of LY6G6F
