Primary Identifier | IPR036993 | Type | Family |
Short Name | ABI2 |
description | Abl-interactor (Abi) proteins are targets of Abl-family nonreceptor tyrosine kinases and are required for cytoskeletal reorganization []. Abi1 and Abi2 play an important role in actin cytoskeleton dynamics through participation in several multiprotein complexes. They participate in the formation of the Abi/WAVE complex, which regulates Arp2/3-mediated actin filament nucleation and actin network assembly [, , ].Abi2 is a component of the WAVE1 complex. It localises to sites of actin polymerisation at the tips of lamellipodia and filopodia []. Its structure has been solved []. |
