Src Homology 3 domain of Brain-specific Angiogenesis Inhibitor 1-Associated Protein 2-Like 2
BAIAP2L2 co-localizes with clathrin plaques but its function has not been determined. It contains an N-terminal IMD or Inverse-Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (I-BAR) domain, an SH3 domain, and a WASP homology 2 (WH2) actin-binding motif at the C-terminus. The related proteins, BAIAP2L1 and IRSp53, function as regulators of membrane dynamics and the actin cytoskeleton. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.
