girdin IS a ubiquitously expressed actin binding protein that plays an important role in the formation of stress fibers and lamellipodia. Subsequent to phosphorylation by Akt, Girdin accumulates at the leading edge of migrating cells and appears to be crucial for the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton and for cell migration.

girdin IS a ubiquitously expressed actin binding protein that plays an important role in the formation of stress fibers and lamellipodia. Subsequent to phosphorylation by Akt, Girdin accumulates at the leading edge of migrating cells and appears to be crucial for the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton and for cell migration.
Plays a role as a key modulator of the AKT-mTOR signaling pathway controlling the tempo of the process of newborn neurons integration during adult neurogenesis, including correct neuron positioning, dendritic development and synapse formation (By similarity). Enhances phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-dependent phosphorylation and kinase activity of AKT1/PKB, but does not possess kinase activity itself (By similarity). Phosphorylation of AKT1/PKB thereby induces the phosphorylation of downstream effectors GSK3 and FOXO1/FKHR, and regulates DNA replication and cell proliferation (By similarity). Essential for the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton and for cell migration

Purification
Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates. Antibodies were purified by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. Non-phospho specific antibodies were removed by chromatogramphy usi
