High impact information on ITGB1BP2

  • In vitro binding experiments demonstrated that interaction of full-length Melusin with detergent-solubilized integrin heterodimers occurred only in absence of cations, suggesting that it can be regulated by intracellular signals affecting Ca(2+) concentration [1].
  • Melusin is expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscles but not in smooth muscles or other tissues [1].
 

Associations of ITGB1BP2 with chemical compounds

  • Here we describe the isolation and partial characterization of a new muscle-specific protein (Melusin) which interacts with the integrin cytoplasmic domain [1].
