Rabbit Anti-phospho-FHOD1 (Thr1141)/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The limb deformity (ld) locus influences normal limb development and gives rise to alternative mRNAs that can translate into a family of protein products known as formins. Formins play a crucial role in cytoskeletal reorganization by influencing actin filament assembly. The temporal genetic hierarchy influencing normal limb development can deregulate and mediate mammalian developmental syndromes. FHOD1 induces the formation of and associates with bundled actin stress fibers in response to the activity of the Rho-ROCK cascade. It influences several cellular activities including cell migration, cytoskeletal arrangement, signal transduction and gene expression.
Function:
Required for the assembly of F-actin structures, such as stress fibers. Depends on the Rho-ROCK cascade for its activity. Contributes to the coordination of microtubules with actin fibers and plays a role in cell elongation.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton. Predominantly cytoplasmic.
Tissue Specificity:
Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in spleen.
Similarity:
Belongs to the formin homology family.
Contains 1 FH1 (formin homology 1) domain.
Contains 1 FH2 (formin homology 2) domain.
Contains 1 GBD/FH3 (Rho GTPase-binding/formin homology 3) domain.
