The ADF (actin-depolymerizing factor)/cofilin family (see MIM 601442) is composed of stimulus-responsive mediators of actin dynamics. ADF/cofilin proteins are inactivated by kinases such as LIM domain kinase-1 (LIMK1; MIM 601329). The SSH family appears to play a role in actin dynamics by reactivating ADF/cofilin proteins in vivo (Niwa et al., 2002 [PubMed 11832213]).[supplied by OMIM

Monoclonal Anti-SSH1 antibody produced in mouse is suitable for capture ELISA and western blot assay.

SSH1 (Slingshot protein phosphatase 1) is mainly involved in the actin filament organization. During cytokinesis, it reactivates ADF (actin-depolymerizing factor)/cofilin, which plays a major role in actin filament dynamics and cell migration. Apart from cofilin reactivation, it also dephosphorylates P-cofilin in vitro and in vivo. Overexpression of SSH1 has been reported in pancreatic cancer (PC) cells, which indicates its role in tumor cell migration via SSH1L/cofilin-1 signal pathway.
