Cortactin Polyclonal Antibody

This gene is overexpressed in breast cancer and squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. The encoded protein is localized in the cytoplasm and in areas of the cell-substratum contacts. This gene has two roles: (1) regulating the interactions between components of adherens-type junctions and (2) organizing the cytoskeleton and cell adhesion structures of epithelia and carcinoma cells. During apoptosis, the encoded protein is degraded in a caspase-dependent manner. The aberrant regulation of this gene contributes to tumor cell invasion and metastasis. Three splice variants that encode different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]CTTN (Cortactin) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CTTN include ampulla of vater adenocarcinoma and ethmoid sinus cancer. Among its related pathways are Signaling by GPCR and Signaling by Rho GTPases. GO annotations related to this gene include profilin binding. An important paralog of this gene is DBN1. ontributes to the organization of the actin cytoskeleton and cell shape (PubMed: 21296879) .
