Description
SpecificityRabbit Polyclonal Antibody specific to Ezrin (Phospho-Tyr353)
BackgroundEzrin (also known as cytovillin or villin-2) is encoded by the EZR gene. The cytoplasmic peripheral membrane protein encoded by this gene functions as a protein-tyrosine kinase substrate in microvilli. As a member of the ERM protein family, this protein serves as an intermediate between the plasma membrane and the actin cytoskeleton. It plays a key role in cell surface structure adhesion, migration, and organization. The N-terminal FERM domain strongly binds sodium-hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF) proteins (involving long-range allostery). The C-terminal ERM domain binds to actin, phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bis-phosphate (PIP2) and membrane proteins like CD44 and ICAM-2.
Antigen Details
FunctionProbably involved in connections of major cytoskeletal structures to the plasma membrane. In epithelial cells, required for the formation of microvilli and membrane ruffles on the apical pole. Along with PLEKHG6, required for normal macropinocytosis. {PubMed:17881735, PubMed:18270268, PubMed:19111582}.
