Description
Product Characteristics: NHERF1 (Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor 1), also known as EBP50 (ezrin, radixin, moesin-binding phosphoprotein 50) is an adaptor protein, which associates with beta-catenin and is required for its localization at the cell-cell junctions, interacts with various G protein-coupled receptors and regulates their traffic, as well as sodium-hydrogen exchange and sodium-dependent phosphate transport. NHERF1/EBP50 inhibits cell motility and is required to suppress anchorage-independent growth. It contains C-terminal ERM (ezrin, radixin, moesin)-binding region and two N-terminal PDZ (postsynaptic-density-95/disc-large/ZO1 homology) domains and is able to form head-to-tail intramolecular conformation to regulate its interactions.
Target Information: This gene encodes a sodium/hydrogen exchanger regulatory cofactor. The protein interacts with and regulates various proteins including the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator and G-protein coupled receptors such as the beta2-adrenergic receptor and the parathyroid hormone 1 receptor. The protein also interacts with proteins that function as linkers between integral membrane and cytoskeletal proteins. The protein localizes to actin-rich structures including membrane ruffles, microvilli, and filopodia. Mutations in this gene result in hypophosphatemic nephrolithiasis/osteoporosis type 2, and loss of heterozygosity of this gene is implicated in breast cancer.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
