Rabbit anti-Human NCKAP1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9Y2A7

Target Species

Human

Target Name

NCKAP1

Target Full Name

Nck-associated protein 1

Target Function

Part of the WAVE complex that regulates lamellipodia formation. The WAVE complex regulates actin filament reorganization via its interaction with the Arp2/3 complex. Actin remodeling activity is regulated by RAC1. As component of the WAVE1 complex, required for BDNF-NTRK2 endocytic trafficking and signaling from early endosomes.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Single-pass membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell projection, lamellipodium membrane; Single-pass membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side.

Target Protein Families

HEM-1/HEM-2 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in all tissues examined except peripheral blood leukocytes, with highest expression in brain, heart, and skeletal muscle. Expressed in cells of various brain regions including Purkinje cells and dentate nucleus of the cerebellum, CA4 region and
