- for immunostaining of chick neurons. It is used as a primary antibody
- for western blotting of protein isolated from mouse hippocampi cells, rat brain samples, human acute lymphoblastic T-cell line, human brain samples, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell line, HEK293T cells and renal epithelial cell lines
- for immunofluorescence studies in tissue samples from human brain
일반 설명
Cofilin is a small phosphoinositide-sensitive actin-binding protein capable of depolymerizing actin-filaments
in vitro. In mammals it has two isoforms: non-muscle (NM-CF, CF-L1) and muscle (M-CF, CF-L2). The protein is ubiquitiously present in tissues of eukaryotes and is especially abundant in neuronal tissues. It can shuttle between the cytoplasm and the nucleus in response to various stresses or signals, and may translocate from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane in various cells.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cofilin binds stoichiometrically to monomeric G-actin and actin protomers. Cofilin intercalates between longitudinally associated actin monomers within the filament. Under specific conditions, It cleaves the filaments and accelerates actin subunits dissociation from their ‘pointed′ ends. It is essential for viability and vital for many cellular processes involving actin remodeling, such as motility at the leading edge of cells, polarized cell growth, endocytosis, phagocytosis, cellular activation, cytokinesis etc. Cofilin activity is regulated through reversible phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. In phosphorylated form, it is inactive and unable to bond with actin. Phosphorylation of cofilin is regulated by at least four protein kinases: LIM Kinase-1, LIM Kinase-2, Testicular Kinase-1, and Testicular Kinase-2. S-nitrosylation of cofilin is involved in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-stimulated endothelial cytoskeleton remodeling and migration. Over-expression of cofilin suppresses growth and invasion of non-small cell lung cancer. Dysregulation of cofilin is associated with neurodegeneration.
