The antibody detects endogenous level of total VASP protein.
纯化方法
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography usingepitope-specific immunogen.
免疫原
Peptide sequence around AA 236-240 (K-V-S-K-Q) derived from Human VASP. Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic peptide and KLH conjugates.
Ena/VASP proteins are actin-associated proteins involved in a range of processes dependent on cytoskeleton remodeling and cell polarity such as axon guidance, lamellipodial and filopodial dynamics, platelet activation and cell migration. VASP promotes actin filament elongation. It protects the barbed end of growing actin filaments against capping and increases the rate of actin polymerization in the presence of capping protein. VASP stimulates actin filament elongation by promoting the transfer of profilin-bound actin monomers onto the barbed end of growing actin filaments. Plays a role in actin-based mobility of Listeria monocytogenes in host cells. Regulates actin dynamics in platelets and plays an important role in regulating platelet aggregation.
