Invitrogen™ Phospho-VASP (Thr278) Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ PA5143786

Catalog No. PIPA5143786

Description

The antibody detects a 50 kDa* band corresponding to VASP in Western blots of human A431 and HeLa cells, as well as mouse C2C12 cells that have been treated with calyculin A.

Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) is a member of the Ena-VASP protein family. Ena-VASP family members contain an EHV1 N-terminal domain that binds proteins containing E/DFPPPPXD/E motifs and targets Ena-VASP proteins to focal adhesions. In the mid-region of the protein, family members have a proline-rich domain that binds SH3 and WW domain-containing proteins. Their C-terminal EVH2 domain mediates tetramerization and binds both G and F actin. VASP is associated with filamentous actin formation and likely plays a widespread role in cell adhesion and motility. VASP may also be involved in the intracellular signaling pathways that regulate integrin-extracellular matrix interactions. VASP is regulated by the cyclic nucleotide-dependent kinases PKA and PKG.
