Background Information
Cortactin, encoded by CTTN gene (formerly EMS1), was originally identified as a substrate of the Src kinase. It is a cytoskeletal protein that interacts with F-actin and Arp2/3 complex and plays an important role in regulation of actin assembly and cytoskeleton dynamics. Overexpression of cortactin increases cell migration, and is thought to contribute to the invasive phenotype of breast cancer and several other tumors. Three isoforms of cortactin exist due to the alternative splicing. Although cortactin has a predicted molecular weight around 65 kDa, it was detected as 80/85 doublet or as multiple bands between 75 and 85 kDa on SDS-PAGE (PMID: 18607838, 19089942).

Reviews
What customers say
The antibody performed well in Western Blot on A549, HEK293, and SHSY-5Y cells, detecting a clear band around 80 kD. It was used at a 1:5000 dilution with a 2-hour room-temperature incubation, followed by a donkey-anti-rabbit secondary antibody at 1:20000 for 1 hour at room temperature. The reviewer rated it 4 out of 5 stars, indicating reliable performance under these conditions.
