Anti-Drebrin 1, clone 4F6E7

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Drebrin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DBN1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic actin-binding protein thought to play a role in the process of neuronal growth. It is a member of the drebrin family of proteins that are developmentally regulated in the brain. A decrease in the amount of this protein in the brain has been implicated as a possible contributing factor in the pathogenesis of memory disturbance in Alzheimer's disease. At least two alternative splice variants encoding different protein isoforms have been described for this gene. Protein function: Actin cytoskeleton-organizing protein that plays a role in the formation of cell projections (PubMed:20215400). Required for actin polymerization at immunological synapses (IS) and for the recruitment of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 to IS (PubMed:20215400). Plays a role in dendritic spine morphogenesis and organization, including the localization of the dopamine receptor DRD1 to the dendritic spines. Involved in memory-related synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. [The UniProt Consortium]
