L-Plastin is member of the plastin family of proteins which includes two other proteins, I-plastin and T-plastin. I-plastin was originally discovered in the fimbria or brush border of the intestine localized in the actin containing microvilli (1). It was therefore originally named fimbrin and later found in many other tissues in association with actin, most notably in the stereocilia important for hearing and proprioception. The plastin proteins all have the ability to bind actin and Calcium ions, containing two EF hand sites close to the N-terminus and 4 calponin homology domains towards the C-terminus. EF hands are compact Calcium ion binding sites found in molecukes such as parvalbumin, calmodulin and many others. Pairs of calponin homology domains form binding sites for actin molecules and are found in α-actinin and many other cytoskeletal proteins.
The MCA-5F101 antibody was made against a recombinant full length human I-Plastin sequence in NP_001138791.1 expressed in and purified from E. coli. The antibody works well on western blots of various tissues, cleanly producing the appropriate sized band. Mouse select image above left for larger view.
