Description
Product Characteristics:
Mig-2 recruits migfilin to cell-matrix adhesions, while the interaction with filamin mediates the association of migfilin with actin filaments. Together, Mig-2, migfilin and filamin define a connection between cell matrix adhesions and the actin cytoskeleton and participate in the orchestration of actin assembly and cell shape modulation. Mig-2 expression is transcriptionally elevated in leiomyomas and could be involved in its hormone-mediated growth of leiomyomas of the uterus. Expression of Mig-2 is ubiquitous, and it is found in numerous tumor tissues.
