Cortactin polyclonal antibody, anti-human, mouse, rat

Background:
Cortactin, encoded by CTTN gene (formerly EMS1), was originally identified as a substrate of the Src kinase. It is a cytoskeletal protein that interacts with F-actin and Arp2/3 complex and plays an important role in regulation of actin assembly and cytoskeleton dynamics. Overexpression of cortactin increases cell migration, and is thought to contribute to the invasive phennotype of breast cancer and several other tumors. Three isoforms of cortactin exist due to the alternative splicing.

Research Area: Signal Transduction
