APPL1 Antibody

DCC-interacting protein 13-alpha (APPL1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the APPL1 gene. The APPL1 gene is mapped to 3q21.1-p13.3. It is said to contain 709 amino acids and share 54% amino acid identity with APPL2. APPL is highly expressed in skeletal muscle, heart, ovary, and pancreas, tissues in which AKT2 mRNA is abundant. It has been regarded as an adaptor that may tether inactive AKT2 to the PI3K in the cytoplasm and thereby may expedite recruitment of AKT2 and PI3K to the cell membrane upon mitogenic stimulation.
