Description
Product Characteristics: FARP1, FERM, RhoGEF (ARHGEF) and pleckstrin domain protein 1 (chondrocyte-derived), CDEP, chondrocyte-derived ezrin-like protein, RP11-111L24.1, MGC87400, PLEKH2, FERM, RhoGEF, and pleckstrin domain protein 1
Target Information: This gene was originally isolated through subtractive hybridization due to its increased expression in differentiated chondrocytes versus dedifferentiated chondrocytes. The resulting protein contains a predicted ezrin-like domain, a Dbl homology domain, and a pleckstrin homology domain. It is believed to be a member of the band 4.1 superfamily whose members link the cytoskeleton to the cell membrane. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
