Anti-AFAP/AFAP1 Antibody Picoband®

• Background:

  Actin filament-associated protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AFAP1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a Src binding partner. It may represent a potential modulator of actin filament integrity in response to cellular signals, and may function as an adaptor protein by linking Src family members and/or other signaling proteins to actin filaments. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
