General description

Girdin (Ccdc88a; APE, GIV, or HkRP1) is a ubiquitous protein belonging to the CCDC88 family. Girdin is an actin-binding protein which interacts with actin via its C-terminal domain, and may play a crucial role in cell motility and cytoskeleton remodeling. These effects may be regulated by a reciprocal relationship between Girdin and Akt. Akt phosphorylates Girdin, and Girdin binds to Akt and enhances phosphorylation of Akt, thereby promoting phosphorylation of Akt’s downstream targets such as GSK-3β and FOXO1A. Girdin/Akt signaling may play an important role in cancer by facilitating the proliferation of cancer cells.

Specificity

Other homologies: Mouse (97% sequence homology).
This antibody recognizes the coiled-coil domain of Girdin.

Immunogen

Epitope: Coiled coil domain.
GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to the coiled coil domain rat Girdin.

Application

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:2,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Girdin in human colorectal cancer tissues.

Immunofluorescence Analysis: A 1:500 dilution from a representative lot detected Girdin in HeLa, Cos-7, and Att20 cells.

Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A representative lot immunoprecipitated Girdin in HeLa cell lysate.
