Description | Dynactin 4 could have a dual role in dynein targeting and in ACTR1A/Arp1 subunit of dynactin pointed-end capping. Could be involved in ACTR1A pointed-end binding and in additional roles in linking dynein and dynactin to the cortical cytoskeleton.The dynactin complex binds cargo, such as vesicles and organelles, to cytoplasmic dynein for retrograde microtubule-mediated trafficking and could feasibly be involved in the copper-regulated trafficking of ATP7B. |
Immunogen | Purified recombinant fragment of human DCTN4 (AA: 57-298) expressed in E. Coli. |
Formulation | Purified antibody in PBS with 0.05% sodium azide |

Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | DCTN4 Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | DCTN4 (HGNC:15518) |

Function | Part of the dynactin complex that activates the molecular motor dynein for ultra-processive transport along microtubules. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, stress fiber {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9QUR2}. Cytoplasm, cell cortex {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9QUR2}. Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CBY8}. Note=Has a punctate cytoplasmic distribution as well as centrosomal distribution typical of dynactin (PubMed:10671518). Overexpression in cultured mammalian cells revealed colocalization with cortical actin, stress fibers, and focal adhesion sites, sites of potential interaction between microtubules and the cell cortex (By similarity). In skeletal muscles, costamere localization requires the presence of ANK2 (By similarity) {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CBY8, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9QUR2, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10671518} |
