Rabbit anti-Human AKTIP Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9H8T0

Target Species

Human

Target Name

AKTIP

Target Full Name

AKT-interacting protein

Target Function

Component of the FTS/Hook/FHIP complex (FHF complex). The FHF complex may function to promote vesicle trafficking and/or fusion via the homotypic vesicular protein sorting complex (the HOPS complex). Regulates apoptosis by enhancing phosphorylation and activation of AKT1. Increases release of TNFSF6 via the AKT1/GSK3B/NFATC1 signaling cascade. FHF complex promotes the distribution of AP-4 complex to the perinuclear area of the cell.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family, FTS subfamily

Target Research Area

Apoptosis

Target Synonyms

AKT interacting protein; AKT-interacting protein; AKTIP; AKTIP_HUMAN; FT 1; FT1; Fused toes homolog; Fused toes protein homolog

Target Background

The mouse homolog of this gene produces fused toes and thymic hyperplasia in heterozygous mutant animals while homozygous mutants die in early development. This gene may play a role in apoptosis as these morphological abnormalities are caused by altered patterns of programmed cell death. The protein encoded by this gene is similar to the ubiquitin ligase domain of other ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes but lacks the conserved cysteine residue that enables those enzymes to conjugate ubiquitin to the target protein. This protein interacts directly with serine/threonine kinase protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt and modulates PKB activity by enhancing the phosphorylation of PKB's regulatory sites. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding the same protein.
