Ship2 (SH2-containing inositol phosphatase 2, phospho Ship2) is a homolog of Ship1. Ship2 is highly expressed in the heart, in skeletal muscle, and in the placenta (1). SHIP2 negatively regulates insulin signaling (2), and Ship2 polymorphisms have been linked to hyperglycemia (3). Phospho Ship2 has been identified as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes (4,5). The Ship2 residue Tyr1135 is phosphorylated in human cancer cells (6-8).
Predicted to work with mouse, rat, and other homologues.
