Biochem/physiol Actions

Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) associates with the barbed ends of actin filaments and takes part in the antagonize filament capping, by interacting with the capping protein (CapZ). It reduces the density of Arp2/3-dependent actin filament branches and bind profilin at sites of actin polymerization. The N-terminal EVH1 domain interacts with proteins associated with focal adhesion plaques. The central proline-rich region interacts with SH3 domains and profilins. The C-terminal EVH2 domain aids in the tetramerization of actin by interacting with polymerized actin fibres.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways: IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues. Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

General description

Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) is an adhesion protein. It belongs to the conserved family of actin regulatory proteins made up of an EVH1 domain, an EVH2 domain and a proline-rich central region.

VASP gene is located on human chromosome 19q13.2.
