Figure 1. ITSN short and long isoforms.

Human ITSN is comprised by 2 EH domains, 1 CC domain and 5 SH3 domains. Additionally, the long isoform contains a DH, a PH and a C2 domain. Both short and long isoforms are also found in mice. Invertebrates usually lack the long isoform, as shown in the worm C. elegans. Besides, some organisms as Drosophila only exhibit 4 SH3 domains. The pathogenic fungus C. neoformans is an exception, since the DH and PH domains are present in its structure. Furthermore, it contains a single EH domain and 2 SH3 domains, with an additional WH2 domain.
