Signal-Transducing Adaptor Protein-2 Modulates Fas-Mediated T Cell Apoptosis by Interacting with Caspase-8 [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2012 Abstract We found that an adaptor protein, signal-transducing adaptor protein (STAP)-2, is a new member of the Fas–death-inducing signaling complex and participates in activation-induced cell death in T cells. STAP-2 enhanced Fas-mediated apoptosis and caspase-8 aggregation and activation in Jurkat T cells.

The emerging and diverse roles of Src-like adaptor proteins in health and disease [PDF]
, 2014 Although Src-like adaptor proteins (SLAP-1 and SLAP-2) were mainly studied in lymphocytes, where they act as negative regulators and provide fine control of receptor signaling, recently, several other functions of these proteins were discovered.

Signal-Transducing Adaptor Protein-2 Regulates Stromal Cell-Derived Factor-1α-Induced Chemotaxis in T Cells [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2009 Abstract Signal-transducing adaptor protein-2 (STAP-2) is a recently identified adaptor protein that contains pleckstrin and Src homology 2-like domains, as well as a YXXQ motif in its C-terminal region. Our previous studies revealed that STAP-2 regulates integrin-mediated T cell adhesion.

Signal-Transducing Adaptor Protein-2 Regulates Integrin-Mediated T Cell Adhesion through Protein Degradation of Focal Adhesion Kinase [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2007 Abstract Signal-transducing adaptor protein-2 (STAP-2) is a recently identified adaptor protein that contains pleckstrin homology- and Src homology 2-like domains as well as a YXXQ motif in its C-terminal region. Our previous studies demonstrated that STAP-2 binds to STAT3 and STAT5, and regulates their signaling pathways.
