Rabbit Anti-Dystrobrevin alpha/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Dystrobrevin alpha belongs to the dystrobrevin subfamily of the dystrophin family. It is a component of the dystrophin associated protein complex (DPC), which consists of dystrophin and several integral and peripheral membrane proteins, including dystroglycans, sarcoglycans, syntrophins and alpha and beta dystrobrevin. The DPC localizes to the sarcolemma and its disruption is associated with various forms of muscular dystrophy. Dystrobrevin alpha may be involved in the formation and stability of synapses as well as being involved in the clustering of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Mutations in Dystrobrevin alpha are associated with left ventricular noncompaction with congenital heart defects.
Function:
Necessary for signaling by class 3 semaphorins and subsequent remodeling of the cytoskeleton. Plays a role in axon guidance, neuronal growth cone collapse and cell migration .
Subunit:
Homotetramer, and heterotetramer with CRMP1, DPYSL2, DPYSL4 or DPYSL5. Interacts with synaptic vesicle protein 2 and SH3A domain of intersectin.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm. Cell projection, growth cone. Note=Colocalizes with synaptic vesicle protein 2 in the central region of the growth cone.
Tissue Specificity:
Mainly expressed in heart and skeletal muscle. Also strongly expressed in fetal brain and spinal cord.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylation on Ser-522 by DYRK2 promotes subsequent phosphorylation on Thr-509, Thr-514 and Ser-518 by GSK3.
Similarity:
Belongs to the DHOase family. Hydantoinase/dihydropyrimidinase subfamily.
