Background
GRAP2; Grb2-related adaptor protein 2 or GADS; Grb2-related adaptor downstream of Shc, is a cytoplasmic adaptor protein containing N- and C-terminal SH3 domains flanking a central SH2 domain and a proline/glutamine-rich region. It is expressed predominantly in lymphoid tissue and hematopoietic cells, particularly in T cells. GRAP2 (GADS) plays a pivotal role during the early events of T cell signal transduction by recruiting the adaptor protein SLP-76 and its associated molecules, such as Vav, Nck, Itk, and ADAP, to the transmembrane adaptor protein LAT. GRAP2 (GADS) also binds several other signaling proteins, namely Gab2, HPK1 (hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1), and Cbl. Unlike similar adaptor protein Grb2, GRAP2 (GADS) shows higher selectivity when binding to the particular phosphorylated tyrosines of LAT adaptor.
