additional information | transgenic mice overexpressing SHIP2 show increased amounts of SHIP2 inducing the disruption of insulin/IGF-I signaling through Akt. Neuroprotective effects of insulin and IGF-I are significantly attenuated in cultured cerebellar granule neurons from SHIP2 transgenic mice, the number of apoptosis-positive cells is increased in cerebral cortex of the transgenic mice at an elderly age, phenotype, overview | Mus musculus |

General Information | Comment | Organism |

malfunction | excess amounts of SHIP2 may be related, at least in part, to brain dysfunction in insulin resistance with type 2 diabetes. A dominant-negative mutant of SHIP2, expressed in cultured neurons, causes insulin signaling augmentation. Inhibition of SHIP2 ameliorates the impairment of hippocampal synaptic plasticity and memory formation in db/db mice | Mus musculus |
physiological function | SH2-containing inositol 5'-phosphatase 2, i.e. SHIP2, is a negative regulator of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate-mediated signals and shows physiological significance in neurons | Mus musculus |
