| Short Name | EPS8 |
| description | Epidermal growth factor receptor kinase substrate 8 (EPS8) is a signalling adapter that possesses actin binding, bundling, and barbed-end capping activities []. It forms a complex with Sos-1, Abi1 and the lipid kinase phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K) to regulate Rac activation that leads to actin cytoskeletal remodeling []. It is critical for dendritic cell migration []. It is involved in the initial growth of stereocilia in both inner hair cells and outer hair cells []. It also regulates axonal filopodia in hippocampal neurons in response to brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) []. It has been linked to proliferation, metastasis and prognosis of many malignant tumours []. |
