MyBioSource.com's SSX2IP Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: EIA, Immunoassay, and ELISA. The SSX2IP Antibody was generated using SSX2IP as the antigen and it reacts with Human, Mouse, and Rat.
Description
Function: Belongs to an adhesion system, which plays a role in the organization of homotypic, interneuronal and heterotypic cell-cell adherens junctions (AJs). May connect the nectin-afadin and E-cadherin-catenin system through alpha-actinin and may be involved in organization of the actin cytoskeleton at AJs through afadin and alpha-actinin (By similarity). Involved in cell movement: localizes at the leading edge of moving cells in response to PDGF and is required for the formation of the leading edge and the promotion of cell movement, possibly via activation of Rac signaling (By similarity). Acts as a centrosome maturation factor, probably by maintaining the integrity of the pericentriolar material and proper microtubule nucleation at mitotic spindle poles. The function seems to implicate at least in part WRAP73; the SSX2IP:WRAP73 complex is proposed to act as regulator of spindle anchoring at the mitotic centrosome (PubMed:23816619, PubMed:26545777). Involved in ciliogenesis (PubMed:24356449). It is required for targeted recruitment of the BBSome, CEP290, RAB8, and SSTR3 to the cilia (PubMed:24356449).
Subcellular Location: Cell junction>Adherens junction. Nucleus. Cytoplasm>Cytoskeleton>Microtubule organizing center>Centrosome>Centriolar satellite. Cytoplasm>Cytoskeleton>Cilium basal body. Note: Not found at cell-matrix AJs.
Tissue Specificity: Widely expressed, with the highest expression in brain, intermediate expression in kidney, testis, spinal cord, liver, heart, lung, skeletal muscle, ovary, fetal liver and fetal brain, and little to no expression in pancreas and spleen. All specific brain regions showed intermediate to high expression, with highest expression in amygdala. Also expressed in fetal tissues, mainly in liver and brain.
Subunit Structure: Interacts with afadin and alpha-actinin (By similarity). Interacts with VAV2 (By similarity). Interacts with SSX2 and SSX3. Does not interact with SSX1 and SSX4 (PubMed:12007189). Interacts with PCM1 (By similarity). Interacts with WRAP73 (PubMed:26545777).
Similarity: Both the N-terminal (up to position 79) and the C-terminal (from position 304) sequences are required for interaction with SSX2.Belongs to the ADIP family
