Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP2720a was selected from the N-term region of humanAM1. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | DAAM1 |

Synonyms | KIAA0666 |
Function | Binds to disheveled (Dvl) and Rho, and mediates Wnt-induced Dvl-Rho complex formation. May play a role as a scaffolding protein to recruit Rho-GDP and Rho-GEF, thereby enhancing Rho-GTP formation. Can direct nucleation and elongation of new actin filaments. Involved in building functional cilia (PubMed:16630611, PubMed:17482208). Involved in the organization of the subapical actin network in multiciliated epithelial cells (By similarity). Together with DAAM2, required for myocardial maturation and sarcomere assembly (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium basal body. Note=Perinuclear |
Tissue Location | Expressed in all tissues examined. |

Background
Functions of the cell cortex, including motility, adhesion, and cytokinesis, are mediated by the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. Recent evidence suggests a role for the Formin homology (FH) proteins in these processes. DAAM1 contains FH domains and belongs to a novel FH protein subfamily implicated in cell polarity. Wnt/Fz signaling activates the small GTPase Rho, a key regulator of cytoskeleton architecture, to control cell polarity and movement during development. Activation requires Dvl-Rho complex formation, an assembly mediated by DAAM1, which is thought to function as a scaffolding protein.
