Anti-BCAS3

developmental stage:Fetal.,disease:A chromosomal aberration involving BCAS3 may be a cause of breast cancer. Translocation t(17,20)(q23,q13) with BCAS4.,similarity:Belongs to the WD repeat BCAS3 family.,similarity:Contains 3 WD repeats.,tissue specificity:Stomach, liver, lung, kidney, prostate, testis, thyroid gland, adrenal gland, brain, heart, skeletal muscle, colon, spleen, small intestine, placenta, blood leucocyte and mammary epithelial cells. Overexpressed in most breast cancer cell lines., Protein function: Plays a role in angiogenesis. Participates in the regulation of cell polarity and directional endothelial cell migration by mediating both the activation and recruitment of CDC42 and the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton at the cell leading edge. Promotes filipodia formation. Functions synergistically with PELP1 as a transcriptional coactivator of estrogen receptor- responsive genes. Stimulates histone acetyltransferase activity. Binds to chromatin. Plays a regulatory role in autophagic activity. In complex with PHAF1, associates with the preautophagosomal structure during both non-selective and selective autophagy (PubMed:33499712). Probably binds phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P) which would mediate the recruitment preautophagosomal structures (PubMed:33499712). [The UniProt Consortium] Recommended dilutions: Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. ELISA: 1/5000. Not yet tested in other applications.. Cellular localization: Nucleus . Cytoplasm . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton . Preautophagosomal structure . Localizes in the cytoplasm in stationary cells. Translocates from the cytoplasm to the leading edge in motile cells. Colocalizes with microtubules and intermediate filaments in both stationary and motile cells (By similarity). Associates with chromatin. Recruited to estrogen receptor-induced promoters in a PELP1-dependent manner. The BCAS3:PHAF1 complex is recruited to the preautophagosomal structures adjacent to the damaged mitochondria upon mitophagy in a PRKN-PINK1 dependent manner (PubMed:33499712). .
