ACTN4 Alpha-actinin-4 F-actin cross-linking protein Non-muscle alpha-actinin 4
Molecular Weight(MW)
104854 Da
Function
F-actin cross-linking protein which is thought to anchor actin to a variety of intracellular structures. This is a bundling protein. Probably involved in vesicular trafficking via its association with the CART complex. The CART complex is necessary for efficient transferrin receptor recycling but not for EGFR degradation
Tissue Specificity
Widely expressed.
Cellular Localization
Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=Localized in cytoplasmic mRNP granules containing untranslated mRNAs Colocalizes with actin stress fibers. Nuclear translocation can be induced by the PI3 kinase inhibitor wortmannin or by cytochalasin D. Exclusively localized in the nucleus in a limited number of cell lines (breast cancer cell line MCF-7, oral floor cancer IMC- 2, and bladder cancer KU-7)
Western blot analysis of anti-ACTN4 Antibody (N-term) in Hela cell line lysates (35ug/lane). ACTN4 (arrow) was detected using the purified Pab.
