Summary
Cell signaling pathways rely on a dynamic interaction between activating and inhibiting processes. SHP-1-mediated dephosphorylation of protein tyrosine residues is central to the regulation of several cell signaling pathways. Two types of inhibitory receptor superfamily members are immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM)-bearing receptors and their non-ITIM-bearing, activating counterparts. Control of cell signaling via SHP-1 is thought to occur through a balance between PILRalpha-mediated inhibition and PILRbeta-mediated activation. These paired immunoglobulin-like receptor genes are located in a tandem head-to-tail orientation on chromosome 7. This particular gene encodes the ITIM-bearing member of the receptor pair, which functions in the inhibitory role. Alternative splicing has been observed at this locus and three variants, each encoding a distinct isoform, are described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks a coding exon, compared to variant 1, resulting in a protein (isoform 2) with a missing internal segment, compared to isoform 1. Isoform 2 is thought to be a soluble protein, since it lacks the transmembrane domain found in isoform 1.

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) lacks two internal coding exons, compared to variant 1, which causes a frameshift and results in the shortest isoform (3) that has a distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform 1. Isoform 3 is thought to be a soluble protein, since it lacks the transmembrane domain found in isoform 1.
