Background: BCAP

BCAP (B cell adaptor for phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)), also known as PI3KAP1, participates in linking the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) with the PI3K pathway. Tyrosine phosphorylation of BCAP by BCR-associated protein tyrosine kinases, such as Syk and Btk, generates binding sites for the p85 subunit of PI3K, resulting in activation of the PI3K pathway. Human and mouse BCAP contain 3 YXXM SH2 binding motifs for interaction with PI3K. BCAP null mice have deficient immune function, with B cells that exhibit enhanced apoptosis.
