Human KANK1 Recombinant Protein (N-His) (HB427012)

Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hardcopy of datasheet or the lot-specific COA.

KN motif and ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein 1 is a ~147 kDa protein. Adapter protein that links structural and signaling protein complexes positioned to guide microtubule and actin cytoskeleton dynamics during cell morphogenesis. At focal adhesions (FAs) rims, organizes cortical microtubule stabilizing complexes (CMSCs) and directly interacts with major FA component TLN1, forming macromolecular assemblies positioned to control microtubule-actin crosstalk at the cell edge. Recruits KIF21A in CMSCs at axonal growth cones and regulates axon guidance by suppressing microtubule growth without inducing microtubule disassembly once it reaches the cell cortex. Interacts with ARFGEF1 and participates in establishing microtubule-organizing center (MTOC) orientation and directed cell movement in wound healing. Regulates actin stress fiber formation and cell migration by inhibiting RHOA activation in response to growth factors; this function involves phosphorylation through PI3K/Akt signaling and may depend on the competitive interaction with 14-3-3 adapter proteins to sequester them from active complexes.
