DAB2 Antibody (883216)

DAB2 (Drosophila disabled homolog 2; also DOC-2/Differentially-expressed in Ovarian Carcinoma and p96) is a cytoplasmic phosphoprotein. Although the predicted MW is 82 kDa, it runs anomalously at 95-105 kDa in SDS-PAGE. It is widely expressed, being found in ovarian cuboidal epithelium, megakaryocytes, fibroblasts, macrophages, breast epithelium and renal proximal tubule cells. Reduced expression levels are associated with tumor development. DAB2 has multiple functions, but is typically described as an adaptor protein (i.e.-one that supports the apposition of two interacting molecules) involved in intracellular trafficking. Molecules reported to interact with DAB2 include megalin, SMAD2 plus TGF-beta RI/II, axin and Dvl3. With respect to trafficking, DAB2 reportedly binds to AP-2, clathrin, LRP6 and myosin VI, four molecules associated with the endocytic process. Human DAB2 is 770 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one pleckstrin homology-like domain that binds phosphotyrosine (aa 42-170) and a C-terminal Pro-rich region that binds SH3 domains (aa 600-630). There are two isoform variants. One is 80-82 kDa in size and shows a deletion of aa 230-447. The second exhibits a short deletion of aa 209-229. Over aa 630-770, human DAB2 shares 76% aa sequence identity with mouse DAB2.
