Anti-PHACTR1 Antibody Picoband®

Phosphatase and actin regulator 1 (PHACTR1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PHACTR1 gene on chromosome 6. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the phosphatase and actin regulator family of proteins. This family member can bind actin and regulate the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. It plays a role in tubule formation and in endothelial cell survival. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with susceptibility to myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and cervical artery dissection. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.

E.coli-derived human PHACTR1 recombinant protein (Position: K66-E395) . Human PHACTR1 shares 94.8% and 95.2% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat PHACTR1, respectively.
