Rabbit Anti-phospho-PDLIM5 (Tyr251) antibody
This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that possess a 100-amino acid PDZ domain at the N terminus and one to three LIM domains at the SLCterminus. This family member functions as a scaffold protein that tethers protein kinases to the Z-disk in striated muscles. It is thought to function in cardiomyocyte expansion and in restraining postsynaptic growth of excitatory synapses. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.

Function:
May play an important role in the heart development by scaffolding PKC to the Z-disk region. May play a role in the regulation of cardiomyocyte expansion. Overexpression promotes the development of heart hypertrophy. Contributes to the regulation of dendritic spine morphogenesis in neurons. May restrain postsynaptic growth of excitatory synapses.
Subcellular Location:
Cell junction > synapse > postsynaptic cell membrane > postsynaptic density. Cell junction > synapse > synaptosome. Cytoplasm. Detected both at presynaptic and postsynaptic sites.
Tissue Specificity:
Heart and skeletal muscle specific. Expression is commonly increased in the brain of patients with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depression.
Similarity:
Contains 3 LIM zinc-binding domains.
Contains 1 PDZ (DHR) domain.
