Rabbit Anti-Testin/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Cancer-associated chromosomal changes often involveregions containing fragile sites. This gene maps to a commomfragile site on chromosome 7q31.2 designated FRA7G. This gene issimilar to mouse Testin, a testosterone-responsive gene encoding aSertoli cell secretory protein containing three LIM domains. LIMdomains are double zinc-finger motifs that mediate protein-proteininteractions between transcription factors, cytoskeletal proteinsand signaling proteins. This protein is a negative regulator ofcell growth and may act as a tumor suppressor. This scaffoldprotein may also play a role in cell adhesion, cell spreading andin the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. Multiple proteinisoforms are encoded by transcript variants of this gene.
Function:
Scaffold protein that may play a role in cell adhesion,cell spreading and in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton.Plays a role in the regulation of cell proliferation. May act as atumor suppressor. Inhibits tumor cell growth.
Subunit:
Interacts via LIM domain 1 with ZYX. Interacts (via LIMdomain 3) with ENAH and VASP. Interacts with talin, actin,alpha-actinin, GRIP1 and PXN. Interacts (via LIM domain 2) withACTL7A (via N-terminus). Heterodimer with ACTL7A; the heterodimerinteracts with ENAH to form a heterotrimer.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm. Cell junction, focal adhesion.Note=Detected along actin stress fibers.
Tissue Specificity:
Ubiquitous.
Similarity:
Belongs to the prickle / espinas / testin family.
Contains 3 LIM zinc-binding domains.
Contains 1 PET domain.
