IGSF9 Polyclonal Antibody

Ig (immunoglobulin) superfamily members exhibit functional characteristics including immune responses, growth factor signaling and cell adhesion. IGSF9 (immunoglobulin superfamily, member 9), also known as Nrt1 or IGSF9A, is a 1,179 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein expressed in a wide variety of fetal tissues at eight and fourteen weeks of gestation. Belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily and the Turtle family, IGSF9 is thought to play a role in dendrite outgrowth and synapse maturation. IGSF9 contains two fibronectin type-III domains and five Ig-like (immunoglobulin-like) domains. IGSF9 interacts with MAGI-2 and Shank 1, both of which contain SH3 (Src-homology 3) domains. Protein-protein interactions are central events in cellular signal transduction and are often mediated by SH3 domains. IGSF9 is encoded by a gene located on human chromosome 1q23.2 and mouse chromosome 1 H3.
