Anti-Cortactin CTTN Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody

The alpha/alpha homodimer is expressed in embryo and in most adult tissues. The alpha/beta heterodimer and the beta/beta homodimer are found in striated muscle, and the alpha/gamma heterodimer and the gamma/gamma homodimer in neurons.

Contributes to the organization of the actin cytoskeleton and cell shape (PubMed:21296879) . Plays a role in the formation of lamellipodia and in cell migration. Plays a role in the regulation of neuron morphology, axon growth and formation of neuronal growth cones (By similarity) . Through its interaction with CTTNBP2, involved in the regulation of neuronal spine density (By similarity) . Plays a role in the invasiveness of cancer cells, and the formation of metastases (PubMed:16636290) . Plays a role in focal adhesion assembly and turnover (By similarity) . In complex with ABL1 and MYLK regulates cortical actin-based cytoskeletal rearrangement critical to sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) -mediated endothelial cell (EC) barrier enhancement (PubMed:20861316) .
