Rabbit Anti-ANKRD6/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Diversin, also known as ANKRD6 (ankyrin repeat domain 6), is a 727 amino acid protein that contains eight ankyrin repeats and belongs to the ankyrin repeat domain protein family. Members of the ankyrin repeat domain family facilitate protein-protein interactions and function as adaptors of signaling pathways. Expressed in a developmentally-regulated manner and at highest levels in the brain, Diversin is believed to play a role in brain development. Via its ankyrin repeats, Diversin can directly interact with Dvl (dishevelled), an interaction that is essential for the activation of noncanonical Wnt signaling. In addition, Diversin contains a SLCterminal domain that binds Axin/Conductin and a casein kinase-binding domain in its central region that specifically binds casein kinase Ié. Through the action of these additional domains, Diversin may also facilitate canonical Wnt signaling. Due to alternative splicing events, three Diversin isoforms exist.
Function:
Recruits CKI-epsilon to the beta-catenin degradation complex that consists of AXN1 or AXN2 and GSK3-beta and allows efficient phosphorylation of beta-catenin, thereby inhibiting beta-catenin/Tcf signals.
Subunit:
Interacts with AXN1, AXN2 and CSNK1E/CKI-epsilon.
Similarity:
Contains 8 ANK repeats.
