beta-2-syntrophin; 59 kD dystrophin-associated protein A1 basic component 2; syntrophin-3; SNT3; syntrophin-like; SNTL (SNTB2 D16S2531E SNT2B2 SNTL)

Function
- adapter protein
- binds to & probably organizes the subcellular localization of a variety of membrane proteins
- may link various receptors to the actin cytoskeleton & the dystrophin glycoprotein complex
- may play a role in regulation of secretory granules via its interaction with PTPRN
- phosphorylated; partially dephosphorylated upon insulin stimulation
- interacts with other members of the syntrophin family: SNTA1 & SNTB1; & with the Na+ channel proteins SCN4A & SCN5A
- interacts with SAST, MAST205, microtubules & microtubule-associated proteins
- interacts with the dystrophin protein DMD & related proteins DTNA & UTRN, & with the neuroregulin receptor ERBB4
- interacts with PTPRN when phosphorylated, protecting PTPRN from protein cleavage by CAPN1
- dephosphorylation upon insulin stimulation disrupts interaction with PTPRN & results in cleavage of PTPRN
Structure
- monomer & homodimer (probable)
- the 1st PH domain mediates oligomerization (Ca+2 dependent) (putative)
- the PDZ domain binds to the last 3 or 4 amino acids of ion channels & receptor proteins; association with dystrophin or related proteins probably leaves the PDZ domain available to recruit proteins to the membrane (putative)
- the SU domain binds calmodulin (Ca+2-dependent) (putative)
- belongs to the syntrophin family
- contains 1 PDZ domain (DHR domain)
- contains 2 PH domains
- contains 1 SU domain (syntrophin unique)
Compartment
- membrane, cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle membrane
- peripheral membrane protein
- cell junction
- cytoplasm, cytoskeleton
- in muscle, localized at the neuromuscular junction
- in insulinoma cell line, it is enriched in secretory granules
Alternative splicing
named isoforms=2
Expression
- ubiquitous
- isoform 1 is the predominant isoform
- isoform 2 is highly expressed in liver & heart
- low expression of isoform 2 in all other tissues
Notes
- one isoform may lack domains required for interaction with dystrophin related proteins
- one isoforma may be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay
