BAIAP2, a target of p53, has been identified as a brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor (BAI1)-binding protein. This interaction at the cytoplasmic membrane is crucial to the function of this protein, which may be involved in neuronal growth-cone guidance. This protein functions as an insulin receptor tyrosine kinase substrate and suggests a role for insulin in the central nervous system. This protein has also been identified as interacting with the dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy gene, which is associated with an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease. It also associates with a downstream effector of Rho small G proteins, which is associated with the formation of stress fibers and cytokinesis.Synonyms: BAI-associated protein 2, BAI1-associated protein 2, BAP2, Brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1-associated protein 2, FLAF3, Fas ligand-associated factor 3, IRS-58, IRSp53, IRSp53/58, Insulin receptor substrate p53, Insulin receptor substrate p53/p58, Insulin receptor substrate protein of 53 kDa
