Enables phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activator activity; phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase binding activity; and transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including insulin receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of B cell proliferation; and positive regulation of cell communication. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to insulin stimulus; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and positive regulation of epithelial cell migration. Located in cytosol and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricular layer; hindlimb digit skin; jaw; metanephros; and thymus primordium.
