GRB10 Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

The product of this gene belongs to a small family of adapter proteins that are known to interact with a number of receptor tyrosine kinases and signaling molecules. This gene encodes a growth factor receptor-binding protein that interacts with insulin receptors and insulin-like growth-factor receptors. Overexpression of some isoforms of the encoded protein inhibits tyrosine kinase activity and results in growth suppression. This gene is imprinted in a highly isoform- and tissue-specific manner, with expression observed from the paternal allele in the brain, and from the maternal allele in the placental trophoblasts. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]

GRB10: an adaptor protein that inhibits insulin-stimulated IRS-PI (3)K-Akt signaling pathway by disrupting the association of IRS with the insulin receptor. Also binds activated PDGFR and EGFR. Preferentially localizes to the mitochondria, modulating the anti-apoptotic activity of mitochondrial Raf-1. Can translocate to the plasma membrane and lamellipodia. Three alternatively spliced isoforms have been described.
