Anti-CIP4 / TRIP10

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Cdc42-interacting protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRIP10 gene. TRIP10 (thyroid hormone receptor interactor 10), also known as CIP4 (Cdc42-interacting protein 4), is a novel adaptor protein which may be invloved in plasma membrane remodeling. CIP4 has been reported to negatively regulate glucose uptake by promoting GLUT4 endocytosis in muscle cells. At least five splice variants for human CIP4 have been identified, including CIP4a (CIP4), CIP4b (FELIC), CIP4c, CIPh (CIP4/2). Western blot analysis usually demonstrates a major band around 75 kDa and a weaker band about 85 kDa. Protein function: Required for translocation of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane in response to insulin signaling. Required to coordinate membrane tubulation with reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton during endocytosis. Binds to lipids such as phosphatidylinositol 4,5- bisphosphate and phosphatidylserine and promotes membrane invagination and the formation of tubules. Also promotes CDC42-induced actin polymerization by recruiting WASL/N-WASP which in turn activates the Arp2/3 complex. Actin polymerization may promote the fission of membrane tubules to form endocytic vesicles. Required for the formation of podosomes, actin-rich adhesion structures specific to monocyte- derived cells. May be required for the lysosomal retention of FASLG/FASL. [The UniProt Consortium]
