Recombinant Human Switch-associated protein 70 (SWAP70)

Uniprot Id

Q9UH65

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SWAP70

Target Full Name

Switch-associated protein 70

Target Function

Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate-dependent guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) which, independently of RAS, transduces signals from tyrosine kinase receptors to RAC. It also mediates signaling of membrane ruffling. Regulates the actin cytoskeleton as an effector or adapter protein in response to agonist stimulated phosphatidylinositol (3,4)-bisphosphate production and cell protrusion.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Nucleus. Cell projection, lamellipodium. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton.

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed only in mature B-cells including those associated with mucosa-associated tissue and bronchus-associated tissue. Widely expressed. Abundant in spleen, and fairly abundant in kidney, lung and liver. Also found in monocytes and macrophages.

Target Background

Enables cadherin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of actin polymerization or depolymerization. Predicted to act upstream of or within isotype switching. Located in actin cytoskeleton; cytoplasm; and plasma membrane.
