Cortactin is overexpressed in breast cancer and squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. The encoded protein is localized in the cytoplasm and in areas of the cell-substratum contacts. This gene has two roles: (1) regulating the interactions between components of adherens-type junctions and (2) organizing the cytoskeleton and cell adhesion structures of epithelia and carcinoma cells. During apoptosis, the encoded protein is degraded in a caspase-dependent manner. The aberrant regulation of this gene contributes to tumor cell invasion and metastasis. Two splice variants that encode different isoforms have been identified for this gene.

Post transnational modification: | Phosphorylated by PKN2 at both serine and threonine residues in a GTP-bound Rac1-dependent manner in hyaluronan-induced astrocytes and hence down-regulated CTTN ability to associates with filamentous actin (By similarity). Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues in response to CHRM1 activation (By similarity). Phosphorylated by PTK2/FAK1 in response to cell adhesion (By similarity). Phosphorylated by FER. Tyrosine phosphorylation in transformed cells may contribute to cellular growth regulation and transformation. Phosphorylated in response to FGR activation. Phosphorylation by SRC promotes MYLK binding. |
