DESCRIPTION

Also known as BCAP_HUMAN, PIK3AP1, BCAP. Signaling adapter that contributes to B-cell development by linking B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling to the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt signaling pathway. Has a complementary role to the BCR coreceptor CD19, coupling BCR and PI3K activation by providing a docking site for the PI3K subunit PIK3R1. Alternatively, links Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling to PI3K activation, a process preventing excessive inflammatory cytokine production. Also involved in the activation of PI3K in natural killer cells. May be involved in the survival of mature B-cells via activation of REL. Homooligomer (By similarity). Interacts (phosphorylated on tyrosine residues within YXXM motifs) with PIK3R1 (via SH2 domain); required for BCR- and TLR-mediated activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase. Interacts (via polyproline C-terminal region) with ABI1 (via SH3 domain); the interaction promotes phosphorylation of PIK3AP1 by ABL1. May interact with MYD88 and TIRAP (By similarity).
