| ncRNA Symbol: | DAB2 | | Full Name: | DAB2, clathrin adaptor protein | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | DOC-2|DOC2 | | Chromosome: | chr5 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 39371675 | End Site(bp): | 39462300 | | | Gene Summary: | This gene encodes a mitogen-responsive phosphoprotein. It is expressed in normal ovarian epithelial cells, but is down-regulated or absent from ovarian carcinoma cell lines, suggesting its role as a tumor suppressor. This protein binds to the SH3 domains of GRB2, an adaptor protein that couples tyrosine kinase receptors to SOS (a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Ras), via its C-terminal proline-rich sequences, and may thus modulate growth factor/Ras pathways by competing with SOS for binding to GRB2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011] | | External Links: | |
