AffiAB® Anti-Syntenin Antibody [JE40-72]

Syntenin-1 (also known as syntenin, syndecan binding protein, melanoma differentiation-associated protein 9 or proTGF-alpha cytoplasmic domain-interacting protein 18) is a protein that binds to the cytoplasmic domains of the syndecans in yeast 2-hybrid screens and other assays. Syntenin-1 contains a tandem repeat of PDZ domains that reacts with the FYA (phe-tyr-ala) carboxy-terminal amino acid sequence of the syndecans. It may function as an adaptor that couples syndecans to cytoskeletal proteins or cytosolic downstream signal-effectors. Syntenin-1 colocalizes and interacts specifically with immature, intracellular forms of proTGF-alpha. It is a human gamma interferon responsive protein. Syntenin-1 contains PSD-95/Discs large/zO-1 (PDZ) domains and associates with the cytoplasmic tail of the IL-5Ralpha. It directly associates with the transcription factor Sox-4. The PDZ proteins PICK1, GRIP, ABP and syntenin-1 bind multiple glutamate receptor subtypes.
