Description
Product Characteristics: NCK1 (NCK alpha) is a cytoplasmic adaptor protein that plays a universal role in coordinating the signaling networks critical for organizing the actin cytoskeleton, cell movement, or axon guidance, connecting transmembrane receptors to multiple intracellular signaling pathways. It contains one SH2 domain, through which NCK1 binds to phosphorylated domains of transmembrane signaling moleculs or certain adaptor proteins, and three SH3 domains for binding proline-rich sequences of other molecules involved in the process of nucleation and polymerization of the actin cytoskeleton.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is one of the signaling and transforming proteins containing Src homology 2 and 3 (SH2 and SH3) domains. It is located in the cytoplasm and is an adaptor protein involved in transducing signals from receptor tyrosine kinases to downstream signal recipients such as RAS. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
