Function | Functions as a central linker protein, downstream of the B-cell receptor (BCR), bridging the SYK kinase to a multitude of signaling pathways and regulating biological outcomes of B-cell function and development. Plays a role in the activation of ERK/EPHB2, MAP kinase p38 and JNK. Modulates AP1 activation. Important for the activation of NF-kappa-B and NFAT. Plays an important role in BCR-mediated PLCG1 and PLCG2 activation and Ca(2+) mobilization and is required for trafficking of the BCR to late endosomes. However, does not seem to be required for pre-BCR- mediated activation of MAP kinase and phosphatidyl-inositol 3 (PI3) kinase signaling. May be required for the RAC1-JNK pathway. Plays a critical role in orchestrating the pro-B cell to pre-B cell transition. May play an important role in BCR-induced B-cell apoptosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10583958, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15270728, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16912232, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9697839}. |
Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9697839}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9697839}. Note=BCR activation results in the translocation to membrane fraction. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed in B-cell lineage and fibroblast cell lines (at protein level). Highest levels of expression in the spleen, with lower levels in the liver, kidney, pancreas, small intestines and colon. |
