IHC image of ab59468 staining in human breast carcinoma formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica Bond^TM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab59468, 5µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Alpha Actinin 4 sometimes referred to as ACTN4 or alpha-actinin is a protein with a mass of approximately 100 kDa. It functions as an actin-binding protein particularly involved in the crosslinking of actin filaments. This protein is expressed widely with high levels found in muscle kidney and brain tissues. Alpha-actinin 4 also plays important roles in cellular structure and integrity by binding actin filaments in various cellular contexts.

Biological function summary

The role of alpha-actinin 4 extends to maintaining cytoskeletal structure and cell motility. It forms part of the larger actin-binding complex that supports cellular adhesion and mechanical stability. By linking actin filaments it allows cells to withstand mechanical stress and maintain their shape. Additionally alpha-actinin 4 contributes to cellular processes like cytokinesis and signal transduction by serving as a scaffold for signaling proteins.

Pathways

Alpha-actinin 4 interacts with diverse cellular signaling mechanisms. Key pathways include the actin cytoskeleton signaling and integrin-mediated cell adhesion. In these pathways alpha-actinin 4 works alongside proteins such as integrins and vinculin facilitating communication between the extracellular matrix and the cytoskeleton. These interactions are critical for cellular responses to environmental stimuli and adaptation during movement or development.

Alpha-actinin 4 has notable impacts on conditions like focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and cancer. In FSGS mutation or dysregulation of alpha-actinin 4 contributes to podocyte dysfunction leading to proteinuria and kidney damage. Its role in cancer often involves altered expression influencing cell migration and invasion. The interaction with other proteins like nephrin in FSGS or E-cadherin in cancer highlights the significance of alpha-actinin 4 in pathogenic processes.

Target data

F-actin cross-linking protein which is thought to anchor actin to a variety of intracellular structures. This is a bundling protein (Probable). Probably involved in vesicular trafficking via its association with the CART complex. The CART complex is necessary for efficient transferrin receptor recycling but not for EGFR degradation (PubMed : 15772161). Involved in tight junction assembly in epithelial cells probably through interaction with MICALL2. Links MICALL2 to the actin cytoskeleton and recruits it to the tight junctions (By similarity). May also function as a transcriptional coactivator, stimulating transcription mediated by the nuclear hormone receptors PPARG and RARA (PubMed : 22351778). Association with IGSF8 regulates the immune synapse formation and is required for efficient T-cell activation (PubMed : 22689882).
