Target Information

Gene Name
VCL
Gene ID
UniProt No.
Gene Function
Actin filament (F-actin)-binding protein involved in cell-matrix adhesion and cell-cell adhesion. Regulates cell-surface E-cadherin expression and potentiates mechanosensing by the E-cadherin complex. May also play important roles in cell morphology and locomotion.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the vinculin/alpha-catenin family.
Post-translational Modifications
Phosphorylated; on serines, threonines and tyrosines. Phosphorylation on Tyr-1133 in activated platelets affects head-tail interactions and cell spreading but has no effect on actin binding nor on localization to focal adhesion plaques.Aceylated; mainly by myristic acid but also small amount of palmitic acid.
