SH2B1 is an adaptor protein known to enhance neurite outgrowth. In this study, we provide
evidence suggesting that the SH2B1 level is increased during in vitro culture of hippocampal
neurons, and the β isoform (SH2B1β) is the predominant isoform. The fact that formation of
filopodia is prerequisite for neurite initiation suggests that SH2B1 may regulate filopodium
formation and thus neurite initiation. To investigate whether SH2B1 may regulate filopodium
formation, the effect of SH2B1 and a membrane and actin regulator, IRSp53 (insulin receptor …
