Function

Involved in FCER1 (high affinity immunoglobulin epsilon receptor)-mediated signaling in mast cells. May also be involved in BCR (B-cell antigen receptor)-mediated signaling in B-cells and FCGR1 (high affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc receptor I)-mediated signaling in myeloid cells. Couples activation of these receptors and their associated kinases with distal intracellular events through the recruitment of GRB2. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12486104, ECO:0000269PubMed:12514734, ECO:0000269PubMed:15010370}.

Subcellular Localization

Cell membrane {ECO:0000269PubMed:12486104, ECO:0000269PubMed:12514734}; Single-pass type III membrane protein {ECO:0000269PubMed:12486104, ECO:0000269PubMed:12514734}. Note=Present in lipid rafts.

Disease Associations

Note=LAT2 is located in the Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) critical region. WBS results from a hemizygous deletion of several genes on chromosome 7q11.23, thought to arise as a consequence of unequal crossing over between highly homologous low-copy repeat sequences flanking the deleted region. Haploinsufficiency of LAT2 may be the cause of certain cardiovascular and musculo-skeletal abnormalities observed in the disease. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11003705, ECO:0000269PubMed:11124535, ECO:0000269Ref.5}.

Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in spleen, peripheral blood lymphocytes, and germinal centers of lymph nodes. Also expressed in placenta, lung, pancreas and small intestine. Present in B- cells, NK cells and monocytes. Absent from T-cells (at protein level). {ECO:0000269PubMed:11124535, ECO:0000269PubMed:12486104, ECO:0000269PubMed:12514734, ECO:0000269PubMed:16160011}.
