Comparative genome analysis of cortactin and HS1: the significance of the F-actin binding repeat domain
14 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In human carcinomas, overexpression of cortactin correlates with poor prognosis. Cortactin is an F-actin-binding protein involved in cytoskeletal rearrangements and cell migration by promoting actin-related protein (Arp)2/3 mediated actin polymerization. It shares a high amino acid sequence and structural similarity to hematopoietic lineage cell-specific protein 1 (HS1) although their functions differ...
