SHIP: an SH2-containing inositol phosphatase. A hemopoietic-specific phosphatase that regulates cell survival, growth, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Hydrolyzes Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3. A cytosolic protein with a SH2 domain in its N-terminus and two NPXY Shc binding motifs at its C-terminus. Upon receptor cross-linking, SHIP is first recruited to the plasma membrane by its SH2, followed by tyrosine phosphorylation on the NPXY motif. Both membrane relocalization and phosphorylation are essential for its regulatory function. Associates with SHC after cytokine stimulation.
