SWAP70 Polyclonal Antibody, Invitrogen™

Description

SWAP70 is a 585 amino acid regulatory protein belonging to the pleckstrin-like family with a PH domain essential for phosphatidylinositol 3, 4, 5-trisphosphate binding. SWAP70 acts as a link between the recognition of specific switch regions and causation of a DNA break and is involved in both nuclear events and in signaling B-cell activation. As a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) it transduces signals from tyrosine kinase receptors to RAC, independent of RAS. As a multiple functional signaling protein, and a component of SWAP enzyme complex, it mediates signaling of membrane ruffling by tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors, actin cytoskeleton and cell protrusion. It is widely expressed in most tissues, mature B-cells, including those associated with mucosa-associated tissue and bronchus-associated tissue, monocytes and macrophages.
