UniProt functional annotation for Q9H6Q3

UniProt code: Q9H6Q3.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11696592}.
 
Subunit: Interacts (via SH2 domain) with ZAP70 (phosphorylated) and CD3Z (phosphorylated). Interacts (via SH2 domain) with CSF1R (phosphorylated) (By similarity). Interacts (via its C-terminal domain) with CBL (phosphorylated). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11696592}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm.
Subcellular location: [Isoform 1]: Cell membrane. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Note=Localized to the plasma membrane and intracellular vesicles, including late endosomal vesicles.
Subcellular location: [Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000305}. Note=May be cytoplasmic and is not localized to membranes.
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.
Domain: The loss of the C-terminal domain partially abolishes the inhibitory function, but can be partially compensated by higher level of protein expression.
Ptm: Phosphorylated by CSF1R. {ECO:0000250}.
Miscellaneous: [Isoform 3]: Produced by alternative initiation at Met- 28 of isoform 1. {ECO:0000305}.
Miscellaneous: [Isoform 4]: Produced by alternative initiation at Met- 28 of isoform 2. {ECO:0000305}.
