General description
Cortactin is encoded by the CTTN gene on chromosome 11 in humans. It is a cytoskeleton protein that facilitates assembly of cortical actin. It is expressed in most adherent cells and is a prominent substrate of protein-tyrosine kinase Src.
Immunogen
synthetic phosphopeptide derived from the region of mouse cortactin that is phosphorylated on tyrosine 421.
Application
Anti-phospho-Cortactin (pTyr421) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for immunocytochemistry and western blotting at a working dilution of 1:1,000
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cortactin is activated by phosphorylation of tyrosine kinases or serine/threonine kinases. It plays an important role in promoting lamellipodia formation, invadopodia formation, cell migration, and endocytosis. Cortactin regulates the interactions between components of adherens-type junctions and helps in organizing the cytoskeleton, cell adhesion structures of epithelia and carcinoma cells. During apoptosis, the encoded protein is degraded in a caspase-dependent manner. It acts as a regulator in invasion and migration of tumor cells. The overexpression of cortactin causes osteosarcoma carcinogenesis and along with FAK increases the risk of oral premalignant lesions.
Physical form
Solution in Dulbecco′s phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.3 (+/- 0.1), 50% glycerol with 1.0 mg/mL bovine serum albumin (IgG and protease free) and 0.05% sodium azide.

Metastatic dissemination of cancer cells from the primary tumor and their spread to distant sites in the body is the leading cause of mortality in breast cancer patients. While researchers have identified treatments that shrink or slow metastatic tumors, no

Invadopodia, actin-based protrusions of invasive carcinoma cells that focally activate extracellular matrix-degrading proteases, are essential for the migration and intravasation of tumor cells during dissemination from the primary tumor. We have previously shown that cortactin phosphorylation at tyrosine residues, in

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a highly invasive cancer with an association with locoregional recurrence and lymph node metastasis. We have previously reported that low microRNA-375 (miR-375) expression levels correlate with poor patient survival, increased locoregional recurrence

Invadopodia are dynamic protrusions in motile tumor cells whose function is to degrade extracellular matrix so that cells can enter into new environments. Invadopodia are specifically identified by microscopy as proteolytic invasive protrusions containing TKS5 and cortactin. The increasing complexity

The cortactin (CTTN) gene has been found, by transcriptomic profiling, to be overexpressed in pediatric osteosarcoma. The location of CTTN at 11q13 and the role of cortactin in cytoskeleton restructuring make CTTN of interest as a potential biomarker for osteosarcoma.
