RAPH1 polyclonal antibody

Lamellipodin, also called ras-associated and pleckstrin homology domains-containing protein 1 (RAPH1), is a 1302 amino acid member of the MRL family. The peripheral membrane protein mediates localized membrane signals and colocalizes at the tips of filopodia and lamellipodia with ENAH/VASP. Aside from the main isoform, nine additional isoforms have been identified for Lamellipodin (RMO1, RMO1a, RMO1b, RMO1c, RMO1ab, RMO1ac, RMO1bc, RMO1abc and RMO1-RAPH1). RMO1-RAPH1 is expressed in a wide variety of tissues, most highly in brain, heart, ovary and developing embryo. RMO1 is also widely expressed, with highest amounts in liver. Lamellipodin is down regulated in breast and ovarian cancers and shows reduced expression in metastatic osteosarcomas in comparison to primary osteosarcoma tumors.
