Descripción

General description

Afadin is a cell-cell adherens junction, F-actin binding multidomain protein. This adherens junction protein has two splicing variants: the ubiquitously expressed l-afadin, and the smaller s-afadin, which is abundantly expressed in neural tissues. Afadin associates with E-catenin proteins.

S-Afadin is a protein which lacks both the third proline-rich and the F-actin binding regions and is homologous to the human AF-6 (ALL-1 fusion partner from chromosome 6) gene product. Anti-l/s-Afadin is developed in rabbit using a synthetic peptide of rat afadin.

Specificity

Anti-l/s-Afadin specifically binds to l-afadin and s-afadin by immunoblotting (approximately 200 and 190 kDa respectively). Additional bands may appear in certain extract preparations in western blot assays. The immunizing peptide specifically inhibits the staining of the I/s-afadin bands. The antibody is specific for human, dog, rat, and mouse l/s-afadin.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to rat l/s afadin sequence, amino acids 1163-1179, with N-terminal cysteine added, conjugated to BSA.

Application

Anti-l/s-Afadin antibody produced in rabbit has been used in :

• immunocytochemistry
• immunohistochemistry
• immunoprecipitation

Biochem/physiol Actions

s-Afadin binds to several cytoplasmic proteins such as the small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) Ras, the tight junction protein ZO-1 2 and the vinculin binding protein ponsin/ sorbin and SH3 domain containing 1 (SH3P12). In addition, l-afadin also binds through its PDZ several integral membrane components such as the Ca²⁺ -independent homophilic immunoglobulin-like nectin, the junctional adhesion molecule (JAM)4 and a subset of the EphB receptor protein-tyrosine kinases.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA and 15 mM sodium azide
