Structured_description Provisional_description F54A5.3 encodes four proteins by multiple splicing, three of which are rather small (52-81 residues); however, one isoform (F54A5.3A, 316 residues) is a ortholog of vertebrate Shc proteins (e.g., p52/p46SHC and p66SHC); like its orthologs, F54A5.3A has a PTB and an SH2 domain in N- to C-terminal order; F54A5.3 has no obvious function in mass RNAi assays, but might be involved in RAS signal transduction or regulation of apoptosis.

Co-occurence of one PTB and one SH2 domain within a single protein is rare, and when it does occur, appears to define two unrelated proteins: tensin (in the N- to C-terminal order of SH2 to PTB) and Shc (in the PTB to SH2 order).
Unlike vertebrate SHC proteins, F54A5.3 proteins lack a CH2 region, and thus are not predicted to mediate responses to oxidative stress via serine or threonine phosphorylation; this function appears to have evolved relatively recently in vertebrate SHC proteins.
