Rabbit anti-Human Phospho-EPS15 (Y849) Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P42566

Target Species

Human

Target Name

EPS15

Target Full Name

Epidermal growth factor receptor substrate 15

Target Function

Involved in cell growth regulation. May be involved in the regulation of mitogenic signals and control of cell proliferation. Involved in the internalization of ligand-inducible receptors of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) type, in particular EGFR. Plays a role in the assembly of clathrin-coated pits (CCPs). Acts as a clathrin adapter required for post-Golgi trafficking. Seems to be involved in CCPs maturation including invagination or budding. Involved in endocytosis of integrin beta-1 (ITGB1) and transferrin receptor (TFR); internalization of ITGB1 as DAB2-dependent cargo but not TFR seems to require association with DAB2.

Target Involvement

A chromosomal aberration involving EPS15 is found in acute leukemias. Translocation t(1;11)(p32;q23) with KMT2A/MLL1. The result is a rogue activator protein.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Membrane, clathrin-coated pit.; [Isoform 2]: Early endosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Note=Colocalizes with HGS on bilayered clathrin coats on endosomes.

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitously expressed.

Target Research Area

Signal Transduction

Target Synonyms

Target Background

This gene encodes a protein that is part of the EGFR pathway. The protein is present at clatherin-coated pits and is involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis of EGF. Notably, this gene is rearranged with the HRX/ALL/MLL gene in acute myelogeneous leukemias. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
