This gene encodes an adaptor protein and member of a cytoplasmic protein family involved in cell migration. The encoded protein contains a putative Src homology 2 (SH2) domain and guanine nucleotide exchange factor-like domain which allows this signaling protein to form a complex with scaffolding protein Crk-associated substrate. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011],

Function:
Function:Eph receptor-binding protein which may be a positive regulator of TCR signaling. Binding to BCAR1 is required to induce membrane ruffling and promote EGF-dependent cell migration.,similarity:Contains 1 Ras-GEF domain.,similarity:Contains 1 SH2 domain.,subcellular location:Associated with the membrane when EGF-stimulated. Found at ruffling membranes.,subunit:Interacts with PTK2B. Isoform 2 interacts with BCAR1/CAS and NEDD9/HEF1.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitously expressed.,
