LCP1(Phospho-Tyr28) Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Plastins are a family of actin-binding proteins that are conserved throughout eukaryote evolution and expressed in most tissues of higher eukaryotes. In humans| two ubiquitous plastin isoforms (L and T) have been identified. Plastin 1 (otherwise known as Fimbrin) is a third distinct plastin isoform which is specifically expressed at high levels in the small intestine. The L isoform is expressed only in hemopoietic cell lineages| while the T isoform has been found in all other normal cells of solid tissues that have replicative potential (fibroblasts| endothelial cells| epithelial cells| melanocytes| etc.). However| L-plastin has been found in many types of malignant human cells of non-hemopoietic origin suggesting that its expression is induced accompanying tumorigenesis in solid tissues.
