Rabbit Anti-SPECC1L/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
This gene encodes a coiled-coil domain containing protein. The encoded protein may play a critical role in actin-cytoskeletal reorganization during facial morphogenesis. Mutations in this gene are a cause of oblique facial clefting-1. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. A read-through transcript composed of SPECC1L (sperm antigen with calponin homology and coiled-coil domains 1-like) and the downstream ADORA2A (adenosine A2a receptor) gene sequence has been identified, but it is thought to be non-coding.

Function:
Involved in cytokinesis and spindle organization. May play a role in actin cytoskeleton organization and microtubule stabilization and hence required for proper cell adhesion and migration.
Subunit:
May interact with both microtubules and actin cytoskeleton.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Cell junction, gap junction. Note=Colocalizes with acetylated alpha-tubulin, gamma-tubulin and F-actin. Also observed in a ring around gamma-tubulin containing centrioles possibly in the microtubule organizing center.
DISEASE:
Defects in SPECC1L are the cause of facial clefting oblique type 1 (OBLFC1) [MIM:600251]. A rare form of facial clefting. A facial cleft is any of the fissures between the embryonic prominences that normally unite to form the face.
Similarity:
Belongs to the cytospin-A family.
Contains 1 CH (calponin-homology) domain.
