Anti-PLSL

Plastins are a family of actin-binding proteins that are conserved throughout eukaryote evolution and expressed in most tissues of higher eukaryotes. In humans, two ubiquitous plastin isoforms (L and T) have been identified. Plastin 1 (otherwise known as Fimbrin) is a third distinct plastin isoform which is specifically expressed at high levels in the small intestine. The L isoform is expressed only in hemopoietic cell lineages, while the T isoform has been found in all other normal cells of solid tissues that have replicative potential (fibroblasts, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, melanocytes, etc.). However, L-plastin has been found in many types of malignant human cells of non-hemopoietic origin suggesting that its expression is induced accompanying tumorigenesis in solid tissues.

Plays a role in the activation of T-cells in response to costimulation through TCR/CD3 and CD2 or CD28 (PubMed:17294403). Modulates the cell surface expression of IL2RA/CD25 and CD69 (PubMed:17294403). [The UniProt Consortium] Recommended dilutions: WB 1:500-2000 ELISA 1:5000-20000.

Relocalizes to the immunological synapse between peripheral blood T-lymphocytes and antibody-presenting cells in response to costimulation through TCR/CD3 and CD2 or CD28 (PubMed:17294403).
