ANTI-LST1 CLONE 7E2 ANTIBODY

General description

LST1, also known as Leukocyte-specific transcript 1 protein, Protein B144, and encoded by the gene LST1/B144, is an interesting protein expressed in many tissues in both the developing fetus as well as the adult. Over-expression induces morphological changes in many cells types that include the production of filopodia and microspikes. LST1 is also involved in dendritic cell maturation and also has anti-proliferation activity on lymphocyte proliferation. LST1 is localized to internal and Golgi membranes and is primarily a single-pass membrane bound protein. Recent research also demonstrates that LST1 is important for the assembly of tunneling nanotubes, a recently discovered new mechanism of cell-cell communication. LST1 induces nanotube formation by recruiting the small GTPase RalA to the plasma membrane and promoting its interaction with the exocyst complex. Furthermore, LST1 recruits the actin-crosslinking protein filamin to the plasma membrane and interacts with M-Sec, myosin and myoferlin, and this suggests a molecular model for nanotube generation and LST1’s essential role in their formation and maintenance.
