Rabbit anti-Human DBN1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q16643

Target Species

Human

Target Name

DBN1

Target Full Name

Drebrin

Target Function

Actin cytoskeleton-organizing protein that plays a role in the formation of cell projections. Required for actin polymerization at immunological synapses (IS) and for the recruitment of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 to IS. Plays a role in dendritic spine morphogenesis and organization, including the localization of the dopamine receptor DRD1 to the dendritic spines. Involved in memory-related synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Cell projection, dendrite. Cytoplasm, cell cortex. Cell junction. Cell projection, growth cone.

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in the brain, with expression in the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus, stratum pyramidale, and stratum radiatum of the hippocampus (at protein level). Also expressed in the terminal varicosities distributed along dendritic trees of pyramidal

Target Synonyms

D0S117E; DBN 1; DBN1; Developmentally regulated brain protein; Developmentally-regulated brain protein; DKFZp434D064; DREB_HUMAN; Drebrin 1; Drebrin; Drebrin E; Drebrin E2; Drebrin1; DrebrinE

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic actin-binding protein thought to play a role in the process of neuronal growth. It is a member of the drebrin family of proteins that are developmentally regulated in the brain. A decrease in the amount of this protein in the brain has been implicated as a possible contributing factor in the pathogenesis of memory disturbance in Alzheimer's disease. At least two alternative splice variants encoding different protein isoforms have been described for this gene.
