Anti-Tensin-1

The protein encoded by this gene localizes to focal adhesions, regions of the plasma membrane where the cell attaches to the extracellular matrix. This protein crosslinks actin filaments and contains a Src homology 2 (SH2) domain, which is often found in molecules involved in signal transduction. This protein is a substrate of calpain II. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015], Protein function: May act as a protein phosphatase and/or a lipid phosphatase (Probable). Involved in fibrillar adhesion formation (PubMed:21768292, PubMed:28005397). Essential for myofibroblast differentiation and myofibroblast-mediated extracellular matrix deposition (PubMed:28005397). Enhances RHOA activation in the presence of DLC1 (PubMed:26427649). Plays a role in cell polarization and migration (PubMed:19826001). May be involved in cartilage development and in linking signal transduction pathways to the cytoskeleton (PubMed:21768292).

Cell junction, focal adhesion . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton . Localized at cell periphery preferentially to fibrillar adhesions than focal adhesions. Translocates from the cell edge to cell center in an ITGB1BP1-dependent manner.
