Function

Scaffolding protein that enhances integrin activation mediated by TLN1 and/or TLN2, but activates integrins only weakly by itself. Binds to membranes enriched in phosphoinositides. Enhances integrin-mediated cell adhesion onto the extracellular matrix and cell spreading; this requires both its ability to interact with integrins and with phospholipid membranes. Required for the assembly of focal adhesions. Participates in the connection between extracellular matrix adhesion sites and the actin cytoskeleton and also in the orchestration of actin assembly and cell shape modulation. Recruits FBLIM1 to focal adhesions. Plays a role in the TGFB1 and integrin signaling pathways. Stabilizes active CTNNB1 and plays a role in the regulation of transcription mediated by CTNNB1 and TCF7L2/TCF4 and in Wnt signaling.

Activity summary

Kindlin-2 also known as FERMT2 is a mechanistic component involved in cellular adhesion processes. This protein has a molecular weight of approximately 75 kDa. Kindlin-2 is found in various tissues with high expression in epithelial cells and muscle tissues. It works together with integrins to maintain cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix performing an important role in cell communication with its surroundings.

Biological function summary

Kindlin-2 contributes to integrin activation and cytoskeletal organization by forming part of a larger complex. This complex stabilizes integrin-talin interactions enhancing the affinity of integrins for their ligands. This function of Kindlin-2 aids in dynamically regulating cell shape migration and mechanical signaling. Its role is significant for normal cellular function and homeostasis because it helps cells to attach and detach when necessary which is important for cell movement and tissue repair.

Pathways

The action of Kindlin-2 integrates with key signaling pathways like the Wnt and PI3K/AKT pathways. In these pathways Kindlin-2 assists in transmitting signals necessary for cellular proliferation and survival. It interacts with other proteins such as talin and integrin β subunits forming a bridge between the cytoskeleton and external signals. This interaction allows cells to adapt to changes in their environment by modulating cell adhesion and migration.

Associated diseases and disorders

Kindlin-2's function relates to conditions such as cancer and fibrosis. In cancer Kindlin-2 aids tumor cell migration and metastasis linking it to the pathological spread of cancerous cells. In fibrosis Kindlin-2 influences the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix components contributing to tissue scarring. The protein also interacts with fibronectin and collagens in these contexts showing its involvement in extracellular matrix remodeling and pathological tissue changes.

    Western blot - Anti-Kindlin 2 antibody (ab74030)

    Lanes 1-3: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab74030 observed at 78 kDa. Red - loading control Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control ab8245 observed at 36 kDa.

    ab74030 Anti-Kindlin 2 antibody was shown to specifically react with Kindlin 2 in wild-type HeLa cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line Human FERMT2 (Kindlin 2) knockout HeLa cell line ab265247 (knockout cell lysate Human FERMT2 (Kindlin 2) knockout HeLa cell lysate ab257436) was used. Wild-type and Kindlin 2 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab74030 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 500 dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

    Western blot - Anti-Kindlin 2 antibody (ab74030)

    The kindlin 2 antibody (ab74030) was tested in lysate obtained from CHO cells either expressing endogenous levels of kindlin 2 (lane1)and transfected CHO cells in which flag-tagged kindlin2 was overexpressed (lane 2). A specific band was at the expected molecular weight of approximately 72 kDa (+/- Flag-tag). ß-actin was used to show loading in the two lanes.
