DOK proteins are enzymatically inert adaptor or scaffolding proteins. They provide a docking platform for the assembly of multimolecular signaling complexes. DOK2 may modulate the cellular proliferation induced by IL-4, as well as IL-2 and IL-3. May be involved in modulating Bcr-Abl signaling. Attenuates EGF-stimulated MAP kinase activation (By similarity). Interacts with phosphorylated RASGAP and EGFR. Interacts with RET and NCK. Interacts (via PH domain) with TEK/TIE2 (tyrosine phosphorylated) (By similarity). (Microbial infection) Interacts with Herpes simplex virus 1 (HHV-1) protein UL46; this interaction induces DOK2 phosphorylation and subsequent degradation. Highly expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes, lymph nodes and spleen. Lower expression in thymus, bone marrow and fetal liver. PTB domain mediates receptor interaction. On immunoreceptor stimulation, phosphorylated on C-terminal tyrosine residues. Phosphorylation on Tyr-345 is required for binding to the SH2 domain of NCK. Phosphorylation on both Tyr-271 and Tyr-299 is required for interaction with RASGAP. Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by TEK/TIE2 (By similarity). Belongs to the DOK family. Type A subfamily.
