Introduction | Arfaptin 2 (ARFIP2) is a Rac1 binding protein essential for Rac-mediated actin polymerization and the succeeding formation of membrane ruffles and lamellipodia. ARFIP2 is a putative target protein of ADP-ribosylation factor. ARFIP2 is also involved in membrane ruffling. ARFIP2 expression is increased at sites of neurodegeneration. In addition, ARFIP2 interacts with the ADP ribosylation factor ARF6, a GTPase which associates with the plasma membrane and intracellular endosome vesicles, in a GTP dependent mode. Furthermore, Arfaptin 2 controls the aggregation of mutant Huntingtin protein by weakening proteasome function. |
Synonyms | ADP-ribosylation factor interacting protein 2, partner of RAC1 (arfaptin 2), Partner of RAC1, Protein POR1, arfaptin-2, POR1. |
Source | E.coli. |
Physical Appearance | Sterile Filtered colorless solution. |
Formulation | The ARFIP2 solution (0.25mg/1ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.2M NaCl, 1mM DTT and 40% glycerol. |
