Rabbit Anti-phospho-Cortactin (Tyr421) antibody
This gene is overexpressed in breast cancer and squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. The encoded protein is localized in the cytoplasm and in areas of the cell-substratum contacts. This gene has two roles: (1) regulating the interactions between components of adherens-type junctions and (2) organizing the cytoskeleton and cell adhesion structures of epithelia and carcinoma cells. During apoptosis, the encoded protein is degraded in a caspase-dependent manner. The aberrant regulation of this gene contributes to tumor cell invasion and metastasis. Three splice variants that encode different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
Function:
Contributes to the organization of the actin cytoskeleton and cell structure. Plays a role in the regulation of cell migration. Plays a role in the invasiveness of cancer cells, and the formation of metastases.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton. Cell projection > lamellipodium. Cell projection > ruffle. Associated with membrane ruffles and lamellipodia.
Post-translational modifications:
Tyrosine phosphorylation in transformed cells may contribute to cellular growth regulation and transformation.
Similarity:
Contains 7 cortactin repeats.
Contains 1 SH3 domain.
