Recombinant Human MARCKS-related protein (MARCKSL1)

Uniprot Id

P49006

Target Species

Human

Target Name

MARCKSL1

Target Full Name

MARCKS-related protein

Target Function

Controls cell movement by regulating actin cytoskeleton homeostasis and filopodium and lamellipodium formation. When unphosphorylated, induces cell migration. When phosphorylated by MAPK8, induces actin bundles formation and stabilization, thereby reducing actin plasticity, hence restricting cell movement, including neuronal migration. May be involved in coupling the protein kinase C and calmodulin signal transduction systems.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor.

Target Protein Families

MARCKS family

Target Research Area

Signal Transduction

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS) family. Members of this family play a role in cytoskeletal regulation, protein kinase C signaling and calmodulin signaling. The encoded protein affects the formation of adherens junction. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on the long arm of chromosomes 6 and 10.
