This EPS15 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 840-870 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human EPS15.
EPS15 is involved in cell growth regulation, possibly via the regulation of mitogenic signals and control of cell proliferation. EPS15 also participates in the internalization of ligand-inducible receptors of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) type, in particular EGFR. Potential interaction partners include AP2A2, STN2, EPN1, and CRK via its SH3-binding sites. EPS15 is ubiquitously expressed. Phosphorylation on Tyr-849 is involved in the internalization of EGFR. EPS15 is not required for membrane translocation after EGF treatment or for targeting to coated pits, but essential for a subsequent step in EGFR endocytosis. This protein is involved in a t(1,11)(p32,q23) chromosomal translocation in acute leukemias causing fusion to the trithorax (MLL or HRX) gene product which contains DNA-binding motifs resulting in a rogue activator protein. Structurally, EPS15 contains 2 EF-hand calcium-binding domains, 3 EH domains, and 2 ubiquitin-interacting motif (UIM) repeats.
