Rabbit Anti-WRCH1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The WRCH1 protein is a member of the Rho family of GTPases. This protein can activate PAK1 and JNK1, and can induce filopodium formation and stress fiber dissolution. It may also mediate the effects of WNT1 signaling in the regulation of cell morphology, cytoskeletal organization, and cell proliferation.
Function:
Acts upstream of PAK1 to regulate the actin cytoskeleton, adhesion turnover and increase cell migration. Stimulates quiescent cells to reenter the cell cycle. Has no detectable GTPase activity but its high intrinsic guanine nucleotide exchange activity suggests it is constitutively GTP-bound. Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization. Required in the control of cell shape.
Subunit:
Interacts with PAK3.
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor; Cytoplasmic side. Golgi apparatus membrane; Lipid-anchor. Cell junction, focal adhesion. Cell projection, podosome. Note=Localizes to podosomes in SRSLCtransformed cells.
Tissue Specificity:
Ubiquitously expressed in all tissues examined. Expressed at high levels in the stomach, small intestine, brain, skeletal muscle and placenta.
Post-translational modifications:
Tyrosine phosphorylated by SRC in response to PTK2B/PYK2 activation.
Similarity:
Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rho family.
