Anti-SPRED2 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

Sprouty-related, EVH1 domain-containing protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SPRED2 gene. SPRED2 is a member of the Sprouty (see SPRY1; MIM 602465) /SPRED family of proteins that regulate growth factor-induced activation of the MAP kinase cascade.

Lacks intrinsic GTPase activity. Has a low affinity for GDP, and constitutively binds GTP. Controls rearrangements of the actin cytoskeleton. Induces the Rac-dependent neuritic process formation in part by disruption of the cortical actin filaments. Causes the formation of many neuritic processes from the cell body with disruption of the cortical actin filaments. .
