### SH3KBP1 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol:** SH3KBP1  
**Location:** Chromosome 19, 19p13.1

**Principal Functions:**
The SH3KBP1 gene encodes an adapter protein involved in various signaling pathways and cellular processes such as:
- Protein-protein interactions mediated by Src homology domains.
- Regulation of endocytosis, including clathrin-dependent internalization of receptor tyrosine kinases (e.g., EGFR, MET).
- Modulation of apoptosis, cytoskeletal organization, and cell adhesion.
- Interactions with cellular stress pathways mediated through MAPK.
