PECAM-1 becomes tyrosine-phosphorylated during the platelet aggregation process; the phosphorylation of two tandem tyrosine residues (Y663 and Y686) within the cytoplasmic domain is required for downstream signalling events. Phosphorylation creates docking sites for the protein-tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2. The interaction between SHP-2 and PECAM-1 is dependent upon integrin-mediated platelet/platelet interactions and occurs via the Src homology 2 (SH2) domains of the phosphatase and highly conserved phosphatase-binding motifs encompassing phosphotyrosines 663 and 686 within the cytoplasmic domain of PECAM-1.
