| Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Precautions | DCTN4 Antibody (N-term) 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} |

Background
DCTN4 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.

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
