Rabbit Anti-Advillin/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Advillin is an 819 amino acid protein that localizes to both the cytoplasm and the cytoskeleton and contains one HP domain and six gelsolin-like repeats. Expressed at high levels in colon and small intestine and at lower levels in uterus, thymus, testis and prostate, advillin functions as a calcium-regulated Actin-binding protein that may be involved in the development of neuronal cells, specifically those that form ganglia. The gene encoding advillin maps to human chromosome 12, which encodes over 1,100 genes and comprises approximately 4.5% of the human genome. Chromosome 12 is associated with a variety of diseases and afflictions, including hypochondrogenesis, achondrogenesis, Kniest dysplasia, Noonan syndrome and Trisomy 12p, which causes facial developmental defects and seizure disorders.
Function:
Ca(2+)-regulated actin-binding protein. May have a unique function in the morphogenesis of neuronal cells which form ganglia. Required for SREC1-mediated regulation of neurite-like outgrowth. Plays a role in regenerative sensory axon outgrowth and remodeling processes after peripheral injury in neonates. Involved in the formation of long fine actin-containing filopodia-like structures in fibroblast. Plays a role in ciliogenesis.
Subunit:
Associates (via SLCterminus) with actin. Interacts with SCARF1 (By similarity). Interacts with F-actin.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton. Cell projection. Cell projection > axon.
Tissue Specificity:
Most highly expressed in the small intestine and colonic lining. Weaker expression also detected in the thymus, prostate, testes and uterus.
Similarity:
Belongs to the villin/gelsolin family.
Contains 6 gelsolin-like repeats.
Contains 1 HP (headpiece) domain.
