Knockout Validation
Sanger Sequencing, Western Blot (WB)
Cell Line Properties
Target Information
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.
Storage & Handling
Cryopreservation Cell Medium
Cell freezing medium - DMSO serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.
Culture Medium
DMEM (High Glucose) + 10% FBS
Storage Instructions
Store at -80 °C. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles.
