SH2-containing inositol phosphatase 1 (SHIP) is a 145kDa hemopoietic-specific phosphatase that hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-triphosphate to phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate. SHIP has been shown to bind directly a phosphorylated motif, immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM), present in the cytoplasmic domain of FcgammaRIIB1 (1). Also, results demonstrate that FcgammaRIIB use SHIP1 to inhibit pathways shared by receptor tyrosine kinases and immunoreceptors to trigger cell proliferation and cell activation, respectively (2).
