Bioinformation

|---|---|
| Gene Symbol | VCL |
| Gene Full Name | vinculin |
| Background | Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein associated with cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions, where it is thought to function as one of several interacting proteins involved in anchoring F-actin to the membrane. Defects in VCL are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1W. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, but the biological validity of some variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
| Function | Actin filament (F-actin)-binding protein involved in cell-matrix adhesion and cell-cell adhesion. Regulates cell-surface E-cadherin expression and potentiates mechanosensing by the E-cadherin complex. May also play important roles in cell morphology and locomotion. [UniProt] |
| Research Area | Cell Biology and Cellular Response antibody; Controls and Markers antibody; Signaling Transduction antibody; Loading Control antibody; Loading Control antibody for cytoplasmic fraction; High MW loading control antibody |
| Calculated MW | 124 kDa |
| PTM | Phosphorylated; on serines, threonines and tyrosines. Phosphorylation on Tyr-1133 in activated platelets affects head-tail interactions and cell spreading but has no effect on actin binding nor on localization to focal adhesion plaques (By similarity). Acetylated; mainly by myristic acid but also by a small amount of palmitic acid. |
