SH2D1A Blocking Peptide (C-term)

Peptides; Blocking Peptides

This gene encodes a protein that plays a major role in thebidirectional stimulation of T and B cells. This protein containsan SH2 domain and a short tail. It associates with the signalinglymphocyte-activation molecule, thereby acting as an inhibitor ofthis transmembrane protein by blocking the recruitment of theSH2-domain-containing signal-transduction molecule SHP-2 to itsdocking site. This protein can also bind to other related surfacemolecules that are expressed on activated T, B and NK cells, thereby modifying signal transduction pathways in these cells.Mutations in this gene cause lymphoproliferative syndrome X-linkedtype 1 or Duncan disease, a rare immunodeficiency characterized byextreme susceptibility to infection with Epstein-Barr virus, withsymptoms including severe mononucleosis and malignant lymphoma.Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have beenfound for this gene.
