Recombinant Human a-Parvin/PARVA/MXRA2 (C-6His)

Source: E. coli. MW :43.2kD. Recombinant Human alpha-Parvin is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Glu372 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Alpha-Parvin (PARVA) is a member of the Parvin family. PARVA contains two CH (calponin-homology) domains. PARVA is widely expressed, with highest levels in heart, skeletal muscle, kidney and liver. PARVA interacts with integrin-linked protein kinase and probably with actin and the LD1 and LD4 motifs of PXN. PARVA may play a role in the regulation of cell adhesion and cytoskeleton organization. PARVA is also involved in ciliogenesis. Protein function: Plays a role in sarcomere organization and in smooth muscle cell contraction. Required for normal development of the embryonic cardiovascular system, and for normal septation of the heart outflow tract. Plays a role in sprouting angiogenesis and is required for normal adhesion of vascular smooth muscle cells to endothelial cells during blood vessel development. Plays a role in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, formation of lamellipodia and ciliogenesis. Plays a role in the establishement of cell polarity, cell adhesion, cell spreading, and directed cell migration. [The UniProt Consortium]
